The 2025 Minneapolis mayoral election is scheduled to be held on November 4, 2025. Incumbent mayor Jacob Frey is eligible to run for re-election to a third term, and has stated that he plans to do so.[1] Minneapolis uses instant-runoff voting, also known as ranked choice voting, in its mayoral elections.
Background
Incumbent mayor Jacob Frey's previous term included the COVID-19 pandemic and the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in 2020, which sparked protests and civil unrest.[2] Frey opposed calls from the city council to defund the police and did not support the 2021 ballot measure aimed at replacing the police department with a new Department of Public Safety.[3]
Frey's administration focused on responding to state and federal mandates for court-sanctioned monitoring due to allegations of discriminatory policing practices.[4] The Minneapolis Police Department has experienced a significant reduction in its workforce, declining from nearly 900 sworn officers in 2019 to less than 600 in 2024.
