Carter Coughlin, a native in Minnesota and former New York Giants Linebacker, offered a sharp warning to the city of Minneapolis if Omar Fateh is elected mayor.
Fateh announced on Saturday that Minnesota’s branch of the Democratic Party, the Democratic Farmer Labor Party (DFL), approved him in the mayor’s race over the current Jacob Frey.

Coughlin, who was born in Eden Prairie and played college -football for Minnesota Golden Gophers, offered his opinion of Fateh’s politics and gave a gloomy view,
“First, attack the policy, not the person. People have to grow up,” he wrote at X.
“Secondly, in a city that has experienced unimaginable destruction and racing tension, these policies would send the city another 10 steps back. MPLS needs to be rebuilt, this will do the opposite. Pray for wisdom.”

Fateh has received many comparisons with New York City’s Zohran Mamdani. Like Mamdani, Fateh is a Muslim Democratic Socialist and at 35, a co -member of Generation Y.
Fateh, a son of Somali immigrants, became the first Somali American elected to the Minnesota senate in 2020. He promises that if he chose mayor, he would raise the city’s minimum wage, increase the supply of affordable housing and fight what he calls “police violence.”
He thanked DFL for the approval.

“I am incredibly honored to be the DFL -approved candidate for Minneapolis mayor,” he wrote on X. “This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are performed with broken promises, veto and politics as usual. It is a mandate to build a city that works for all of us.”
