Mitra Jalali for City Council - Ward 4

I’m Mitra Jalali. I’m a former social studies teacher, organizer, policy aide, and for the last four years I’ve been honored to serve as your Councilmember for Ward 4.

These last four years, I’m proud to have been a strong force for change on our Council. My work with you has helped put the policies and investments in place that make those “All Are Welcome” signs true for everyone in our city – not just a message.

I'm running for re-election to keep leading progress for everyone in Saint Paul.
