Though votes were still being counted Wednesday night, Minneapolis residents can expect City Councilwoman Betsy Hodges to lead City Hall come January, succeeding three-term Mayor R.T. Rybak.
Hodges addressed a crowd of about 250 supporters at 612 Brew in northeast Minneapolis Wednesday night. She was introduced as “the next mayor of Minneapolis.”
“On Jan. 2 … it will be my job to live my gratitude by doing what I said I would do to work with you, to work with the community to build and grow Minneapolis,” she said in a speech.
