Excellent and timely piece from The Star Tribune's Eric Roper.

"[Mary] Moriarty is bowing out after an acrimonious tenure that feels like an unfinished mission. Will voters sign up for more?

In many ways, candidates Cedrick Frazier and Anders Folk represent a fork in the road.

Folk is a former federal prosecutor whose campaign is supported by the mayor of Minneapolis and the county sheriff. Frazier is an attorney for the teacher’s union and current state representative...

Experience is a clearer delineator. Folk has spent much of his career on the prosecutor’s side of the courtroom, while Frazier would be new to it.

Unfortunately for Frazier, he campaigned for Moriarty and served on her transition team. The pair worked together in the public defender’s office. These ties to Moriarty have dogged him throughout the race.

Perhaps that explains his campaign’s 'Prosecute ICE' theme, which feels like a deflection from the county’s more pressing public safety challenges...

The county attorney’s race will have real effects on the lives of Hennepin County voters. Moriarty’s tenure is coming to an end, but we’ll soon see if her legacy is here to stay."

Please tell your friends, your friends' friends, your neighbors, your neighbors' neighbors, and anyone else you meet in Hennepin County for the next 16 days to vote for Anders Folk. Our county's public safety and the health of our entire region depend on it.

Cedrick Frazier and Anders Folk represent a fork in the road, four years after the county lurched toward reform.

It’s time for an end of the Mary Moriarty era. Vote for Anders Folk!

My opponent, Cedrick Frazier, endorsed Mary Moriarty, worked to elect her, and chaired her transition team. For four long years, he has supported her agenda.

It's time for a new day in Hennepin County.

It's time for accountability and consequences for people who break the law. It's time for a County Attorney who works with law enforcement, who puts public safety and the impartial pursuit of justice ahead of any ideology or political agenda.

Reposting this because the election is **Tomorrow** Go vote!

In an August 7, 2025, Star Tribune article, I announced that I would not be running for Hennepin County Attorney this year. When Mary Moriarty revealed she would not seek another term and Cedrick Frazier signaled interest in the race, I raised a concern many shared: "Can we just get a prosecutor in that office?"

Then Anders Folk reached out.
I was immediately impressed. Anders is a former federal prosecutor with real trial experience — the kind of experience the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office desperately needs. I knew right away he was the right person for the job, and I proudly endorsed him.

Anders will restore the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office to the strong, steady institution it once was by:
- Prosecuting violent and repeat offenders
- Holding juveniles accountable with consequences that fit the offense
-Working closely with law enforcement and justice partners to ensure safety across all Hennepin County communities

We need Anders Folk — and we need him now.
Vote for Anders Folk on Tuesday August 11th: A vote for safety and justice.

Bad faith attacks are used to distract from the real issues and candidate's experience. Mary Moriarty and her backers made several false allegations of me throughout the 2022 campaign, including saying that I used homophobic slurs while in the County Attorney's Office (I did not), calling me a Republican (I am not and have never been), repeatedly lying about my law license (which was current and active throughout my career), and even insinuating that I wasn't pro-choice because I had a daughter at a young age.

I am disappointed, but not surprised, that Moriarty's heir apparent, Cedrick Frazier, is highlighting similarly baseless attacks against former U.S. Attorney Anders Folk, who I've proudly endorsed for County Attorney. The author of these attacks works for a subsidiary of Take Action Minnesota. Take Action Minnesota spent over $230,000 to elect Mary Moriarty as Hennepin County Attorney in 2022. That massive contribution triggered a campaign finance investigation, which found that Take Action had received those funds from a national partner with the stipulation that the money be used in state legislative races — not a local county attorney contest like ours.

Kudos to former DFL Chair Mike Erlandson for his very thorough response to these attacks.

I am proud to support my Northside neighbor Viviana Salazar for County Commissioner. Effective leadership at the local level is more important than ever and Viviana will bring that to the Hennepin County Board.
