My name is Alexander Fooy, and I'm a student at the University of Minnesota as well as a renter and neighbor here in Ward 2. One of the aspects of Minneapolis that makes it such a great city to live in is the fact that you can experience the best of urban vitality and diversity here while still retaining a sense of affordability. However, there is still more work to do on that front in order to make Minneapolis a city where *all* can thrive. This issue is also of particular concern to the many students who live in Ward 2, who work, rent, and shop in many of the neighborhoods in this ward. Despite these huge contributions to Minneapolis' economy, students are often overlooked by our local government. The student perspective deserves to be heard at City Hall, and I'm running to ensure that that's the case. Please consider donating and voting for the Fooy for Ward 2 campaign to help ensure Minneapolis' affordability, that the perspectives of all Ward 2 residents are adequately represented, and so Ward 2 can have a real election come November!
