Blaine for One, Blaine for All

Meet Ini!

Hello, I'm Ini Udomah. Born in Saint Paul in ​2001, I moved to Blaine in 2003 and have ​proudly called it home ever since. Growing ​up, I attended our local schools, played ​soccer with the Blaine Soccer Club, and ran ​track at Blaine High School, where I ​graduated in 2020. My first jobs were in our ​city, deepening my appreciation for our ​community and its values.

Currently, I am pursuing my degree at ​university and continuing my journey of ​growth and learning. My experiences in ​Blaine have shaped who I am today and ​inspired my commitment to community ​involvement. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, ​immersing myself in nature at Minnesota's ​state parks, and spending quality time with ​my friends and family.

I’m running for City Council because I ​believe it’s crucial to have younger voices in ​the conversation. Too often, decisions are ​made without considering the perspectives ​and futures of the younger generation, even ​though we will inherit the consequences. ​My campaign is built on the belief that we ​can shape a future that reflects the needs ​and aspirations of all residents.

With a fresh perspective and a strong ​commitment to transparency, accessibility, ​and community engagement, I aim to foster ​a community where everyone has a voice ​and can contribute to our shared future. My ​campaign slogan, “Blaine for One, Blaine for ​All,” reflects my dedication to serving every ​person in our community and making sure ​Blaine is a great place for everyone.
