Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh has officially entered the race for Mayor of Minneapolis, promising a sweeping left-wing overhaul of city policies in a campaign that is already drawing comparisons to New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.
Fateh, 35, is a self-described democratic socialist and son of Somali immigrants. In a campaign launch video posted Sunday, he said Minneapolis is becoming increasingly unaffordable for working-class residents and pledged to implement a radical slate of policies to “fix” the issue.
- Fateh’s proposals include:
- Raising the minimum wage to $20/hour
- Rent stabilization policies (effectively capping rent increases)
- Non-cooperation with ICE and federal immigration enforcement
- “Diversifying” public safety by diverting 911 calls away from police
- More funding for social workers and alternative response teams
Critics warn the plan would cripple small businesses, depress housing development, and further reduce police capacity
Omar Fateh:
Look at me. I almost mayor now.
Sigh, interact with the average Minneapolis resident for a few minutes and you'll realize that he is going to be the next mayor.....Yes, they're that "odd".
That said....As neither a resident of Minneapolis nor NYC, I think it's great. The residents get what they want and we get to see the results with no danger to ourselves from a safe distance.
