Frey, endorsed by establishment Democrats including Governor Tim Walz and senator amy Klobuchar, faced criticism from the left for not being progressive enough.Fateh, who would have been Minneapolis&#8217;s first Muslim mayor, campaigned on policies such as defunding the police and protecting undocumented immigrants, contrasting with Frey&#8217;s stance advocating for more <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >police officers amid rising crime concerns<\/a>. The election outcome is seen as a setback for the far-left faction of the Democratic Party in Minneapolis, contrasting with socialist victories elsewhere like Mamdani&#8217;s mayoral win in New York city.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Minnesota state Sen.
