The city of Saint Paul, Minnesota held an election on November 4, 2025, to elect the mayor. It was held using ranked-choice voting. The city elects mayors to four-year terms without term limits. Incumbent mayor Melvin Carter III, first elected in 2017, lost reelection to State Representative Kaohly Vang Her. Both are members of the DemocraticâÂÂFarmerâÂÂLabor Party.
Her was elected the first female, first Hmong, and first Asian-American mayor of Saint Paul. Her was elected in an upset after final round tabulations gave her an advantage distributed from other challengers to Carter, scientist Yan Chen, businessman Mike Hilborn, and engineer Adam Dullinger.
During the 2024 general election, voters approved a measure to move Saint Paul's city elections from odd-numbered years to even-numbered years to coincide with the state's general elections, beginning 2028. Thus, as it currently stands, this will be the last regularly scheduled Saint Paul mayoral election to be held during the off-year.
