St. Paul swears in all-female City Council in historic first
The Hill ^ | 01/10/2024 | LAUREN IRWIN

The St. Paul, Minn., city council made history Tuesday when each of its seven seats were filled by women for the first time in the city’s history.

Four of the seven members sworn in at an inauguration ceremony were incoming freshman. Anika Bowie, Saura Jost, HwaJeong Kim and Cheniqua Johnson joined incumbents Mitra Jalali, Rebecca Noecker and Nelsie Yang, MPR News reported.

Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan addressed the crowd at the inauguration event and said her “heart is overflowing.”

“I’m honored to be here today to celebrate these incredible leaders, all that they have accomplished to get here and all of the work they will accomplish together on behalf of the City of St. Paul,” Flanagan said. “But really, for all of us, a city council’s inauguration is exciting as is, but to have an all woman city council, and the majority of whom are women of color, leaves me, which is hard to do, nearly speechless.”

The men who voted for the 19th Amendment were idiots.

Popcorn time. Govt now more concerned about feelings than picking up the trash or keeping the lights on.

I can guarantee they are as left as you can get. Minnesota is as big of an embarrassment as Kalifornia.

Just look at the outfits they chose to wear to their swearing in ceremony before you jump to conclusions that they're all lefties.

Yup, they're all lefties...

Or since this is St Paul, how about a Bible quote from St Paul himself LOL (1 Corinthians 14 34-35). (IMHO the context is it's an analogy about speaking in tongues not interrupting the church as a whole being edified, not really a law saying women shouldn't speak up in church.)

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

Can you imagine the reaction, if some high official said how proud they were of an all-male city council , the majority of whom were white men???

But somebody can say how great it is to have an all woman city council , the majority of whom are women of color , and that’s okay.

You got that right. If these dames are left you can bet this city will go the way of some of the once-great cities that were taken over by those like the or leftists in general! If so, good riddance!!! Wonder if any of them were out-of-work bridge builders.
