Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 1, 2026 — St. Paul city officials have released a comprehensive investigative report concerning Mayor Kaohly Her. The findings detailed in the report indicate violations of workplace conduct policies and describe an environment deemed uncomfortable for employees.
The release of this report follows closely on the heels of a lawsuit filed by Police Chief Axel Henry against both Mayor Her and the city of St. Paul. Chief Henry’s lawsuit lodges allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation.
The specific details of the workplace conduct policy violations and the nature of the uncomfortable work environment described in the investigative report were not immediately available beyond the general findings. Similarly, the full scope and specific allegations within Police Chief Axel Henry’s lawsuit, beyond sexual harassment and retaliation, were not detailed in the available information.
The timeline indicates the investigative report’s release occurred days after Chief Henry initiated his legal action. The report itself was commissioned to examine workplace conduct and environment issues related to Mayor Her.
A full understanding of the ramifications of the report and the lawsuit will depend on further details emerging from both the city’s findings and the legal proceedings initiated by Chief Henry. The contractor who conducted the investigation was not named, and the specific fine amounts, if any, were not provided.
