Who is on the Minneapolis City Council for the next four years?

Mayor Jacob Frey has been re-elected to a third term, but when that term begins next January, he'll be working with a slightly different city council for the next four years.

The current council has a veto-proof majority that has often clashed with the mayor over issues including the Labor Standards Board, which Frey said needed more business representation to be fair; the Gaza ceasefire resolution and the council’s move to deny cost of living raises for some of the city’s highest paid employees as a way to lower the property tax levy increase.

This time around, the council will likely maintain that majority — but may not have the votes to be veto-proof. It takes nine votes to overturn the mayor’s veto, which was the case when the city council overturned his veto of their 2025 budget.

There was one major upset: the defeat of Ward 7 incumbent Katie Cashman by Park and Recreation Board member Elizabeth Shaffer in the most expensive city council race of the election. Shaffer is more aligned with Frey than Cashman, who often — but not always — voted with the majority.
