Soutshide Proud.

My name is Jason Chavez, I’m proud to call the Southside my home. I’m a renter, the son of Mexican immigrants, and proudly represent Ward 9 on the Minneapolis City Council. 

I am excited to announce my re-election campaign, where I will passionately advocate for working families and our vibrant community at City Hall.

In 2021, you honored me by electing me as the DFL and Labor Endorsed Candidate, making history as the first LGBTQ+ Latino elected to the Minneapolis City Council. 

Currently, I serve as Chair of both the Public Health and Safety Committee and the Committee of the Whole, where I work tirelessly to drive systemic change for Ward 9 and our city.

From the moment I began this journey, I promised to uphold a community-led and community-centered approach to governance. I have remained true to that commitment by advocating for you at City Hall, prioritizing the needs of our neighbors, and embedding equity in every decision I make. 

I hope you will join me in building a brighter future for our community.
