The background is awesome. It drips of authenticity, hard work and smarts. Just a few of the highlights from Frey's life and career:
* Born in Virginia to a Jewish family.
* Both his parents were professional modern ballet dancers.
* Ran track while getting his undergraduate degree at the College of William and Mary.
* Competed at the 2002 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships, where he won the 5,000 meter event.
* Graduated cum laude from the Villanova University School of Law.
* Practiced employment discrimination and civil rights law.
* Founded and organized the first Big Gay Race, a 5K charity race to raise money for Minnesotans United for All Families, a political group organizing for marriage equality.
* Became the second youngest Mayor of Minneapolis in 2017 after serving first on the City Council.
* Has issued eight executive orders as Mayor of Minneapolis, the first one establishing the city as a safe haven for reproductive rights and healthcare after Roe v. Wade was overturned.

If anyone's got an issue with Frey solely because he's Jewish, that's their problem. I see the makings of a future U.S. President.
