Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak announced his support for Mohamud Noor to represent parts of the University of Minnesota and surrounding neighborhoods in the state Legislature.
The hotly contested 2014 race to out seat 22-term Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis, is causing some to question if her performance truly reflects the district’s evolving community and some think the area should be represented by a new face.
This is the first time for the former mayor to endorse a candidate for the state Legislature.
