St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter joined host Tom Weber to talk about his first days in office. He also took questions from callers.

Carter is a former city council member and advisor to Gov. Dayton on early childhood policy. He's also the son of a police officer.

Carter won St. Paul's first competitive mayor's race in the ranked-choice era with more than 50 percent of the vote. He will be the city's first black mayor.
