First Term (2018 - Current)

Big Idea

Together, we have created opportunities to build our community identity and deepen connections with our neighbors.

Accomplishments

  • Worked with local business owner Houston White to get the Great Streets grant for 44th Avenue, which provided funding for Camdentown’s very first Camdentown Blues & BBQ Festival.

  • Successfully organized with Ward 4 residents to get Lowry designated as a Cultural Corridor, which will allow businesses along the corridor to access extra funding and other resources, along with an area beautification initiative.

  • Brought a new food shelf and distribution center to Ward 4 that feeds hundreds of Northside families every month.

  • Added a Southeast Asian Community Navigator to promote healthy City and police relations with the Southeast Asian community, particularly in North Minneapolis.

Next Term (2022 - 2024)

Big Idea

CM Cunningham will continue to advocate for Neighborhood Organization funding, identify resources to promote Ward 4 traditions, and cultivate opportunities to get to know our neighbors.
