Minneapolis City Council President Andrea jenkins's grand entrance at her Ward 8 election night party, about 20 minutes ago. She's expected to face a close race in Ward 8 tonight with challenger Soren With Ward 8. Mayor Jacob Frey showed up just now as well.

Great night with supporters watching the results come in. Minneapolis has rank choice voting so we have to wait until tomorrow for final results. My team and I feel good about being on top when all the votes are counted. #Andrea4Ward8

Thank you Ward 8 voters. I’m ready to get back to working for you and our great city. #Andrea4Ward8

Special shout out to AFSCME Council 5 who showed up daily during the final 2 weeks of the campaign to help power our campaign to victory! #Andrea4Ward8

This was my toughest election yet, but it shows that a majority of Ward 8 residents trust me in representing their interest at City Hall. I’m “fired up, ready to go” back to work for everyone in Ward 8. Together we can build a better Ward 8 and Minneapolis for all. #Andrea4Ward8
