Fateh has been associated with the defund the police movement, though he denies it now. "His 2020 campaign literature noted his support for a ballot measure that would have dismantled the Minneapolis Police Department and created a new public safety department, a plan organized by progressives who had promoted the defund movement. His 2020 campaign website also included a photo of Minneapolis City Council members on stage in front of a “defund police” sign." https://www.startribune.com/sen-omar-fateh-minneapolis-mayor-2025-profile/601480088. His endorsement by the Minneapolis DFL was revoked due to irregularities in the voting process but his campaign continued to send out fliers and lawn signs after the revocation. I'm just kind of skeptical about this guy; there have been too many questionable statements and incidents. Progressives who don't like Frey can choose DeWayne Davis or Jazz Hampton.
