We deserve better, so I’m taking it to 11! 

Hi, I'm Mariam, and I'm seeking the DFL endorsement to become the next Ward 11 City Council member. With years of experience in public service, I'm committed to delivering practical solutions to our city's challenges, including underfunded law enforcement, aging infrastructure, and a lack of affordable housing.  

As a lifelong Minneapolis resident, I care deeply about the well-being of our city and our community members.  This is why I have spent my life in the public service. I currently represent you as an active member on the Minneapolis Charter Commission and have spent the past five years working for Saint Paul Mayor, Melvin Carter. I hope to continue my career in public service as your next City Council Member. 

I earned my law degree from Mitchell Hamline and have clerked for the Ramsey County Attorney’s office in the criminal division and the Minneapolis City Attorney’s Office in the civil division. I interned for former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and other city departments through the Minneapolis Step-Up and Urban Scholar program.  

Make it stand out.

    Ensuring that law enforcement officers are thoroughly screened for personal biases, receive proper training, and are adequately staffed and funded. 

    Supporting our police force to uphold their duty while ensuring professionalism and accountability.     

    Increasing diversity efforts in law enforcement recruitment. 

    Investing in after-school, youth, and mentorship programs, such as Step Up and Urban Scholars, to keep our children engaged and encourage them to succeed. I personally have participated in and owe my success to these programs!   

    Repairing and maintaining streetlights and other environmental design measures.
