Kaohly Her elected St. Paul mayor

Rep. Kaohly Her is the first woman and Hmong American elected as the mayor of St. Paul in a historic upset over incumbent Melvin Carter after a tabulation of second-choice votes. Her’s victory also marks the first time the entire leadership of the city is made up of all women. This is the last year the St. Paul mayor’s race will be held in an odd numbered year. Her’s term will run through 2028, when the city will hold its next mayoral election.
