Duluth mayoral candidate Roger Reinert on collecting the Duluth News Tribune Editorial Board's endorsement – "I'm grateful to the DNT for a very strong endorsement. 'It's time for something different' is more than a mantra – it's what Duluthians are saying from one end of town to the other. The endorsement also reflects the thoughtfulness and civility that we expect in our local elections. Not the DC playbook of attack mailers, billboard, and social media ads. 

Reinert

Local government is about the basics: streets, utilities, and public safety. Parks and community centers. Effective and efficient, and that at a rate we can afford and sustain. There is no magic or wishful thinking involved – it's basic expectations that we expect more and do better."

Howie: Reinert has failed Downtown Duluth

The library debate generated plenty of noise and no resolution. Skywalk conversations took up oxygen without producing a clear direction. The broader Imagine Downtown Duluth effort exists, but still feels like a $300,000 plan waiting for a moment when it becomes real in ways people can’t miss.

Howie: Forsman the best choice for Duluth’s next mayor

Arik Forsman doesn’t posture. He doesn’t spend his time trying to win the internet for a day. He leans into the unglamorous mechanics of governing — budgets, policy detail, stakeholder conversations — and does it with a steadiness that’s easy to overlook if you’re chasing noise instead of results.
