Minneapolis mayor to appeal after losing party endorsement to democratic socialist

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, JUL 22 – Mayor Jacob Frey challenges the Minneapolis Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party endorsement citing vote counting errors and delegate disenfranchisement in a contest won by progressive Omar Fateh.

  • On Monday afternoon, Jacob Frey's campaign submitted a formal challenge to the Minneapolis DFL’s endorsement decision, requesting an expedited emergency review.
  • Citing delegate disenfranchisement, the mayor challenges the Minneapolis DFL convention process, alleging irregularities and procedural flaws.
  • At Saturday’s convention, Fateh won over 60% of delegate support, marking the first DFL mayoral endorsement in 16 years, and the count took nearly two hours due to technology malfunctions.
  • On Monday, Frey filed a formal challenge, while Briana Rose Lee said the Minneapolis DFL stands by its endorsement process.
  • With the November election approaching, Minneapolis voters will choose between Frey’s centrist leadership and Fateh’s progressive agenda, and while the endorsement brings extra resources, it doesn’t guarantee victory.
