Topic
Lisa Demuth R
Amy Klobuchar D
Steven Young I
Cost of living & jobs
Jobs & Business EnvironmentAs Governor I will work to make Minnesota a magnet for business investment and job creation in all corners of the state. I will issue an executive order on day one of my administration to cut permitting timelines by at least 25% and work with the legislature to pass meaningful permitting reform. source
Lower Costs for MinnesotansAs Governor, Amy Klobuchar will work to lower costs that have been going through the roof across the country — essentials like health care, housing, child care, and utility bills. She’ll build on her years of fighting — and beating — Big Pharma to lower prescription drug prices for Minnesotans. source
No public position found
Taxes & government spending
Taxes and AffordabilityHelping Minnesota families afford their lives will be my top priority as governor. I will work to cut income taxes for families by reducing the lowest two tax brackets, dial back expensive car tab fees that were raised by Democrats, and finally end taxes on social security benefits for our seniors. source

Health care
Putting Patients First: Health Care the Minnesota WayPutting patients first means world-leading cures and treatments that are available to every Minnesotan. Increase competition and plan choices for Minnesota. Build on the great bipartisan work that was done last session to support our rural hospitals. source
Make Health Care More Affordable and AccessibleAs Governor, Amy Klobuchar will keep fighting to lower health care costs so families can afford to get the care they need. source
No public position found
Social Security & Medicare
No Tax on Social SecurityAs Governor, Lisa Demuth will fully eliminate Minnesota’s state tax on Social Security benefits — no income caps, no partial subtraction. Minnesota is one of just 8 states that still taxes Social Security benefits. source

Immigration & the border
No public position found
Advocate for immigration reform at the federal level.Our farms, dairies, and processing plants can’t run without workers, and a broken federal immigration system is holding Minnesota’s rural economy back in many sectors, including farming. Amy Klobuchar has led bipartisan efforts in the Senate to fix it. source
No public position found
Crime & public safety
Public SafetyAs Governor, I will have the backs of our police, firefighters, and other first responders who keep our communities safe. source
Take on Crime and Support Public SafetyAmy Klobuchar ran the biggest prosecutor’s office in Minnesota for eight years as Hennepin County Attorney, where she made combating violent crime a top priority. source
No public position found
Schools & education
EducationMinnesota schools need a dramatic reset. Despite years of increased investment, our test scores have stagnated and too many kids are moving through our education system despite failing to meet basic benchmarks for reading, writing, math, and science. source
Use proven approaches to raise student achievement.Improve reading and math skills. Ensure proven, evidence-based curriculum in elementary classrooms, and give teachers and parents the training and materials to deliver reading and math excellence. source
No public position found
Energy & environment
EnergyMinnesota needs a true all-of-the-above approach that keeps energy bills affordable for families and ensures year-round reliability of our grid on the coldest days of winter and hottest days of summer. source
Support Conservation and Outdoor RecreationAmy Klobuchar is committed to preserving Minnesota’s natural resources and protecting the environment. As Governor, she will protect Minnesota’s natural resources, from lakes and wetlands to forests and farmland. source
No public position found
Elections & government ethics
Increase Judicial AccountabilityCrime-enabling judges keep letting criminals out to reoffend. Gov. Demuth will require sunlight in sentencing, so Minnesotans can see what’s really happening when judges depart from minimum sentences. source
Make Government Accountable and Root out FraudWe need a government that can carry its weight and match your drive and ambition. Amy Klobuchar intends to transform our state government to be innovative effective , and accountable . That starts by rooting out fraud and making sure the money coming out of your paycheck is not misspent. source

2. More Housing in Rural CommunitiesRural and small-town Minnesota faces a unique version of the housing shortage: high infrastructure costs, aging housing stock, and limited access to assistance. For years, major employers and communities in Greater Minnesota have struggled to house the people they need to grow and thrive. source

Mayors

What does a mayor do?

Leads a city. In 'strong mayor' cities (like Chicago) the mayor runs city departments and proposes the budget; in others the city council and a city manager hold more power. Usually 4 years.

  • Police and fire departments
  • City budget and property tax levy
  • Streets, water and garbage
