Ward One: Five seek open seat in northeast Minneapolis
Ward One, in Minneapolis’ northeast corner, has an open city council seat for the first time in a dozen years. It’s a fresh beginning for the ward as voters prepare to rank favorites among five newcomers: a DFL Party endorsee, a DFL challenger and three independents. But a trio of veterans who held the seat going back to the early 1960s — when councilmembers were called assemblymen — still hovers over the race.
