Eleven people have filed to run for mayor of Minneapolis this year, although only the incumbent has held recent political office.

Among the late surprises in the 98 filings for various offices are incumbent Park Board Commissioner Bob Fine's shift from seeking reelection to his southwest Minneapolis seat to an at-large race that already features four other current or former commissioners. And there's the surprise reelection bid of Nokomis-area Commissioner Carol Kummer, after the candidate she supported, Martin Demgen, didn't file for health reasons. Former Council Member Natalie Johnson Lee filed to try to regain her Fifth Ward seat from incumbent Don Samuels.

Filings closed Tuesday, and produced the following list of candidates for the Nov. 3 election. Candidates and their political affiliation or principle as it will be listed on the ballot are shown in the order they filed. Party endorsements are boldfaced. A few candidates filed with one political affiliation but were endorsed by another party or more than one. Those endorsements are listed separately.
