MINNEAPOLIS -- Kristyn Anderson will serve as Minneapolis city attorney after the city council approved her nomination from Mayor Jacob Frey, city officials announced Thursday morning.

Anderson has 22 years of legal practice in government. She served as Minnesota Management Budget's general counsel, enterprise employment law counsel and state ethics officer. 

"I want nothing more than to give back to this city that has given me so much. I want to help city leaders enact change to improve the lives of the people of Minneapolis," Anderson said in a press release.
