Four major candidates are vying for votes in the Minneapolis mayoral election.
Mayor Jacob Frey, state Sen. Omar Fateh, DeWayne Davis and Jazz Hampton are all hoping to emerge victorious on Tuesday, Election Day. All four are Democrats.
The Minneapolis DFL is not endorsing a mayoral candidate in this election and hasn't since 2009. Fateh initially won the endorsement, but it was overturned after a Minnesota DFL committee found "substantial failures" in the voting process during the local party's July 19 convention, despite an appeal by the Minneapolis DFL to let Fateh's endorsement stand.
Due to Minneapolis' ranked-choice voting system, which has voters select three candidates in order of preference, Frey's top challengers have banded together under an "anyone-but-him" strategy.
