With Mary Moriarty’s tenure ending amid reform pushback and criticism, candidates like Diane Krenz, Cedrick Frazier, Matt Pelikan, Hao Nguyen, and Anders Folk are sharpening their messages. Krenz, a 40-year veteran, bluntly critiques Moriarty’s leadership, while Pelikan, who walked away from his firm over an ICE case, and Nguyen, who vows to prosecute federal agents, bring hard-edged legal firepower. Folk, with his Acting U.S. Attorney background and Chauvin prosecution experience, adds a national lens. Yet not all attacks are personal — some candidates, like Krenz and Pelikan, still recognize Moriarty’s strides on ERPOs and reducing repeat offenders. With early voting just around the corner, these contenders are racing to define their legacy — and their vision for justice in Hennepin County.
