Duluth is in [[Minnesota's 8th congressional district]], represented by [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Pete Stauber]]. It has a [[Mayor–council government|mayor–council]] form of government. The mayor is [[Roger Reinert]], who took office in 2024 after defeating incumbent [[Emily Larson]], the city's first female mayor. The [[Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party|Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party]] has controlled the mayor's office continuously since 1975. Duluth's longest-serving mayor was [[Samuel F. Snively]], serving from 1921 to 1937. He is remembered for his initiatives creating parks and boulevards, such as the Seven Bridges Road and [[Skyline Parkway]]. 

The City Administration makes policy proposals to a nine-member City Council. Duluth's five representational districts are divided into 36 precincts. Each district elects its own councilor. There are also four at-large councilors, representing the entire city. The City Council elects a president who presides over meetings.

Duluth is the heart of the state's 8th legislative district, represented in the [[Minnesota Senate]] by [[Jen McEwen]] and in the [[Minnesota House of Representatives]] by [[Alicia Kozlowski]] (District 8B) and [[Peter Johnson (Minnesota politician)|Peter Johnson]] (District 8A)—all members of the Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, which has long dominated the city's (as well as the state's) politics.
