Sustain Saint Paul City Endorsements

Endorsement: Mayor Melvin Carter III

Sustain Saint Paul proudly endorses Mayor Melvin Carter III for Re-Election! Mayor Carter has been a powerful advocate for SSP's priorities of increased density and low carbon, multi-modal transportation options. We look forward to strengthening our partnership and addressing the real challenges faced by Saint Paul together.

Endorsement: YES on City Question 1

Sustain Saint Paul is also proud to endorse YES on City Question 1.

Yes on Question 1 will allow the Saint Paul to issue Administrative Citations that will enable the city to enforce its ordinances and change the behavior of bad actors without escalation to criminal courts.

Currently, we're the ONLY major city in MN lacking the ability to issue Administrative Citations, meaning ordinances passed on issues like tenant protections or Paid Sick Time are unenforceable except by Criminal Citations - which are too harsh for everyday residents, and too slow for truly bad actors.
