}}Albert "Al" J. Hofstede (September 25, 1940 – September 3, 2016) was an American politician who served two non-consecutive terms as mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota, both times representing the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. He was the youngest person ever elected mayor of Minneapolis, at age 34, and its first Catholic mayor.[2]

Political career

Over the course of his career, Hofstede served Minnesota governor Karl Rolvaag, was a member of the Minneapolis City Council for four years, a chairperson of the Metropolitan Council from 1971 to 1973, and mayor of Minneapolis for two terms.[2] His position as Metropolitan Council chairperson was granted by governor Wendell Anderson.

His first term, as the 41st mayor, began on January 1, 1974, and ended on December 31, 1975,[3] after he was defeated for reelection by independent Charles Stenvig, who had already been mayor from 1970 to 1973. In 1977 Hofstede defeated Stenvig to win another term (the 43rd), which ended on December 31, 1979.[3]

During the years that Milwaukee Avenue, a two-block area of half-lot, almost identical houses, was threatened, Hofstede led the way to protect it. He led a tour of the area for residents, neighbors, activists and others. The area was eventually designated an historic district.

Later, Hofstede worked as an advisor at North State Advisors.[4]

Personal life

Hofstede was born in Minneapolis on September 25, 1940.[5] He met and married his wife, Emma Hofstede (née Hild) who was a schoolteacher and a nun.[1] The Hofstedes had two children, Emily and Albert, and lived in Blaine, Minnesota. Hofstede's sister-in-law, Diane Hofstede, was elected to the Minneapolis Library Board and later to the Minneapolis City Council, representing Ward 3. Hofstede died on September 3, 2016, in Minneapolis.[6]
