ST PAUL, Minn. — St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter has won a second term to serve as the mayor of Minnesota's capital city.
With all 95 of the city's precincts reporting, Carter had more than 61% of the vote, well above the 50% plus one threshold needed to get re-elected.
Carter faced seven challengers on the ranked-choice ballot.
In the other citywide measure on the ballot Tuesday, St. Paul voters approved a rent stabilization ordinance, with nearly 53% of voters voting yes on the measure. The ballot question allows the city to adopt an ordinance to limit residential rent increases to no more than three-percent in every 12-month period, even if the occupancy were to change hands. Under the proposed ordinance, landlords would be able to request an exception.
