After two rounds of voting, Tinitha “Pearll” Warren took the lead in the Minneapolis Ward 5 City Council race, moving from 38% to 48% after counting second-round choices. The win means she will replace outgoing Council Member Jeremiah Ellison and become a moderate voice on the council. However, the city’s progressives maintained control of seven seats, falling short of a majority. Warren’s victory marks an opportunity for a shift in the council’s balance of power, but its impact is still unfolding.
