One week ago today I was sworn in as the 40th Mayor for the City of Duluth. I remain humbled and in all of the challenges, opportunities, and responsibility. Thank you Duluth!

The North Shore has been busy with locals and visitors checking out the fall colors, but the Duluth area also has some spectacular scenery. duluthnewstribune.com/news/l…
Hopefully everyone noticed in that NFL breakaway about Miami 92 Zach Sieler learning to fly in the off season that he was piloting a @Cirrus_Aircraft !

TheCity Council approved my 2.65% net maximum property tax levy for 2027.
That’s lower than last year’s 2.7%, less than inflation, and for the third consecutive year the lowest levy amongst our peer group. It's also an average net levy of just 1.78% during my tenure as mayor.

DPD wants to recognize DPD Lt Jozef Miketin for his 28 years of military service at the 148th Fighter Wing! Miketin worked his way up the ranks with the MN Air National Guard and retired after being the Chief Master Sergeant for the past 5 yrs. Congrats on your retirement!
The @MNMilMuseum is officially open! The first all services military and veterans Museum in the history of Minnesota! The museum does an amazing job of covering everything from territorial days all the way through the war on terror. The 9/11 movie is especially powerful.
Proud member of the @MNMilMuseum Board! Excited for the grand opening.

Happy first day of school for students at ISD 709! Those yellow buses are a good reminder to go slow, be patient, and obey traffic rules. You will literally save a life.

Dangerous swimming conditions and rip currents today for the beaches of Duluth and Superior. Stay out of the high surf! If you are being pulled away from shore by a #RipCurrent, swim parallel to shore until you're out of the rip, then swim to shore. #MNwx #WIwx
ALT A diagram showing how to escape a rip current along with text detailing the risk. There is a high risk of rip currents today for the beaches of Duluth and Superior, including Park Point and Wisconsin Point beaches. Dangerous waves and rip currents are expected along the shore. Swimming conditions may be life threatening to anyone entering the water. Stay out of the high surf today! Break the grip of the rip by swimming parallel to the shoreline until you are out of the rip current, then turn and swim toward shore. Repeat this action if you encounter another rip current. Know your actions: Swim at a beach with lifeguards. Never swim alone. If caught in a rip, relax, call for help, and swim along the shoreline. For more beach information visit parkpointbeach.org and for more information on rip currents visit www.ripcurrents.noaa.gov.
Ground broken Monday on the replacement of the John A. Blatnik Bridge. LA Twin Ports infrastructure project in generations.
Current bridge opened in 1961 and carries 33,000 vehicles daily. $1.8 billion project funded by a $1B federal grant and $400M each from MN and WI.
Amazing time today at the great Minnesota Get-together volunteering in the Visit Duluth booth. Fun chatting with folks from all over about why they love spending time with us in Duluth! @visitduluth
Spirit Valley Days is underway! Thank you West Duluth for another warm reception!
Leo and I had a blast walking with Duluth Parks, the Duluth Library, Duluth Fire, and Duluth Police.
National Night Out! One of my favorite nights of the year. Made it to a record (for me!) 10 neighborhood gatherings. From Fremont to Piedmont to Woodland to Lakeside we covered Duluth from West to east and hillside to over the hill!

Today, the Minneapolis VA opened a new women’s clinic — a dedicated space for the 10,000 women veterans they serve, bringing primary care, mental health care, and more under one roof.
We can never fully repay our veterans, but we can honor their service by ensuring they have access to the care they deserve.
Thanks for having me on this am @CathyWurzer to chat about downtown's challenges and opportunities. Great to see you in Duluth!
