Election Day will bring big changes to Minneapolis’ city government, including the first new mayor in more than a decade and many new faces on City Council.
Four of the City Council’s 13 seats are completely open to new members, and seven of the remaining nine are highly contested, which could mean a shift in the council’s priorities and cooperation after the Nov. 5 elections.
University of Minnesota political science professor Larry Jacobs said next month’s elections will be an “incredible time” in Minneapolis politics.
