A lawn sign supporting Clint Conner’s mayoral campaign stands along a residential boulevard in Minneapolis. Conner, an attorney and political newcomer, ran on a platform focused on public safety reforms, neighborhood-level engagement, and governance changes within the city’s mayor–council structure. Yard signs like this became common across parts of Minneapolis during the campaign cycle, reflecting heightened civic interest following several years of intense debate over public safety, police restructuring, and the future of city governance.

Municipal elections in Minneapolis often draw regional attention due to the city’s distinctive political climate, strong neighborhood identities, and history of competitive mayoral contests. Candidate signage has long been a visible part of the city’s election seasons—especially in the years after 2020, when local races increasingly intersected with national conversations about public policy and urban leadership.
