4. I was, too. I don't have any real ties to Minneapolis.

So, I was content just to watch what happened. Frey has not being doing all that well in some ways. It's a complex job, and I would want nothing to do with that. Meanwhile, in St. Paul, where I lived for many years, the result was different. the incumbent Mayor, Melvin Carter, lost to a Hmong woman, Kaohly Her, who is a sitting state legislator. St. Paul voters seem more prepared to do the unexpected than voters in Minneapolis.

Of course, now, both mayors-elect have to take on the very difficult job of leading two mid-sized metropolitan cities. Not easy.
