I worked with city staff to bring a legislative directive to examine barriers to housing options created by pet restrictions, particularly large-breed restrictions that are based on perception rather than science.

Dear neighbor,

I’m excited to share an update on the Renter Immigration Status Privacy and Anti-Retaliation Ordinance my office has been working on.
On Wednesday, April 15, the Public Health, Safety, and Equity Committee will hold a public hearing on this ordinance at 1:30 PM at City Hall. 1/

“Since I started my term in January, I have been pushing our Office of Community Safety (Commissioner Barnette’s team) to implement the Uptown pilot program,” Cashman said in an email to her constituents in August 2024.  The Uptown Association held a meeting in 2025 with Chughtai and Cashman to discuss the implementation of the program. Despite it being funded and supported by both Uptown council members, they struggled to get City leadership to implement it.  The Office of Community Safety, led by Toddrick Barnette, is in charge of the Neighborhood Safety Department, tasked with the ambassador program.  “I was a thorn in his side about it for years,” Cashman said about Barnette. “Council members have no governance ability to direct the departments to do anything.”

The council funded the creation of an ambassador program for Uptown in 2023. Frey/Barnette never implemented it.

At a neighborhood meeting last month Shaffer said Barnette told her there's no money, the program isn't happening.

And now it is happening.

Report: Pet restrictions, fees a barrier to affordable housing in Minneapolis Minneapolis city officials say low-income renters have a harder time finding affordable housing that allows cats and dogs compared to people with higher incomes.

Article: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I have heard this from constituents and pet owners across Minneapolis. Current policies create real disparities, and I will be working to advance legislation that mitigates these impacts and expands housing options.

Stricter rules and higher fees for larger breeds, like as pit bulls, English bulldogs, and boxers, further exacerbate the housing crisis, limit choices, and can lead to more pet surrenders to already full shelters.

Research shows aggression in dogs is not determined by breed, but by training or lack thereof. Yet these policies disproportionately impact low-income renters, who already face greater challenges finding housing that allows pets.

Can we just talk about how inappropriate it is to invoke the murder or George Floyd & the uprising that took hold of our city in this context? It’s intentionally provocative and divisive. All bc he didn’t like that the council in our charter authority didn’t rubber stamp an appointment. 🙄

Another look how pretty my city is pic from my walk! Spring is here 🌱 💗

It looks like the system is down itself right now. It’ll be back up at some point. 🫤

This was working when I posted it…

And with that, I’m going to go for a long walk and enjoy the beautiful city we live in. ✌🏾

By now we could’ve all moved forward. So remember it’s an intentional choice to drag this out by meaningless veto and drive wedges between leaders and members of the public of our city.

As a result of the mayor’s politically motivated & misinformation laced statements, we as council members had to compile a memo of our substantive reasons on why we did not confirm Mr. Barnette: lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/Fil...

Anyone who actually follows the City Council or actually watches a hearing or a meeting or two knows that our Council is taking care of business - routine business as well as innovation based on what they hear from us, the people of Minneapolis.

People will remember who was out there and who wasn’t.

This is all just a set up. Most productive council in history, most diverse, and people who just work really hard for our neighbors. We get made to be punching bag to tee up for the charter amendment on the ballot to strip council power and in turn constituent power. Don’t fall for it.

richard carlbom, chair of the DFL, just called out the humphrey project for creating division in 2026

thank you for saying this @richardcarlbom.bsky.social. i think we did have a DFL united front against ICE during the occupation so i find these efforts extra tasteless in the wake of that
