MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and his wife Sarah Clarke welcomed a newborn baby Wednesday evening.
Their daughter, Frida Jade Frey, was born at 5:22 p.m. weighing 7 lbs. 10 oz., according to a press release from the City of Minneapolis.
Clark and Frida are both healthy and doing well, according to the release.
“Nothing prepared us for the love we already feel. She’s a radiant light in our lives. For us, her birth leading into Rosh Hashanah symbolizes new beginnings and hope in the midst of tough days. She’s our reminder of a better tomorrow,” Frey and Clarke said in a statement.
Frey is taking a leave of absence Thursday and "continue handling day-to-day mayoral duties from home," the release states.
