Minneapolis City Council shakeup: Election results

Minneapolis will elect four new City Council candidates on Tuesday.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Voters in Minneapolis went to the polls to choose their next city council members in the city's 13 wards.

New Minneapolis City Council

The results have broken up the progressive block on the council, which had a veto-proof majority coming into the election.

Incumbent Katie Cashman has been voted out in Ward 7, with Elizabeth Shaffer taking her place on the council.

Currently, there are three new council members, but Ward 5 is too close to call at this time and is going to a second ballot.
