Incumbent Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has been re-elected to another term after receiving 49.1% of the final round votes.
Election night was a nail-biter as many questioned whether or not Frey would be re-elected after he went through more in the last year and a half than most mayors ever go through.
But he pulled through. Behind Frey was candidate Kate Knuth, who received 38.2% of final round votes.
Frey was vocal in the last few months against the ballot question that sought to remove the Minneapolis Police Department.

Frey continued to call for change within the MPD but said that the charter change was not the change the city needed.
In total, Frey received 70,669 final round votes, roughly 15,000 more than Knuth to secure his position as Minneapolis mayor.
The mayor will now serve his second term in office after facing a pandemic, shutdown, and civil unrest in his first four years.
