  • Presidential Election Results
    2016 Election Overview The outcome of the 2016 elections has definitely altered the landscape for transportation policy and funding initiatives. From the Presidency down to state legislative races, we face a new legislative dynamic and many new faces. What hasn’t changed: the huge need for resources to increase the nation’s and the state’s investment in the transportation system and bipartisan agreement on that fact. Prior to the outcome of Tuesday’s election we were hearing from candidates on both sides of the aisle that increasing investments in infrastructure was an area of agreement. Candidates for Minnesota’s legislature brought up the need for a comprehensive, long-term transportation funding package over and over again in news stories, candidate profiles and candidate forums. We were hearing more from candidates about transportation than we have in previous election cycles. Voters in other states, made their voices heard by approving ballot initiatives in 22 states that increased and stabilized funding for transportation. As we head into 2017, transportation advocates have a huge opportunity to capitalize on the widespread support for infrastructure improvements. However, it will take the involvement of transportation advocates across the state making their voices heard to rise above partisan squabbling and the many other issues that will be on the table. National Presidential Election Results Electoral Votes Needed to Win: 270 *Remaining: 16 Trump (R) Electoral Votes 290 Popular Vote 60,375,961 Clinton (D) Electoral Votes 232 Popular Vote 61,047,207 Minnesota Clinton (D) percent 46.9% votes 1,366,676 Trump (R) percent 45.4% votes 1,322,891 The race for the White House defied the polls and expectations as Donald Trump won more than the needed 270 votes in the electoral college while Hillary Clinton narrowly won the popular vote.

  • Hotdish Off 2013
    2013 Recipes 1 HOTDISH OFF 2013 Senator Franken’s Minnesota Congressional Delegation Hotdish Off From church suppers and school potlucks, to family reunions, “hotdish” has been a Minnesota tradition for generations. To those who don’t speak “Minnesotan,” it’s a lot like a casserole that “goes real good” with jello or a salad, along with bars (pan-baked cookies) for dessert. This book of recipes will give everyone a taste of this culinary staple that for years has satisfied the hunger of Minnesotans in small farming communities and large cities alike. Last year, Sen. Franken’s “Mom’s Mahnomin Madness Hotdish” and former Rep. Chip Cravaack’s “Minnesota Wild Strata Hotdish” tied for first place. Sen. Klobuchar took top honors in 2011 with her “Taconite Tater-Tot Hotdish.” On April 10th, 2013, Senator Al Franken hosted Senator Amy Contents Klobuchar and Representatives Collin Representative Tim Walz’s Hermann the German Hotdish . 1 Peterson, Betty McCollum, Michele Bachmann, Keith Ellison, Tim Walz, Representative Rick Nolan’s ‘Real Deal’ Ranger Hot Dish . 2 Rick Nolan, and Erik Paulsen for a Representative Collin Peterson’s Easter Ham and Cheese Hotdish 4 bipartisan and bicameral Minnesota Congressional delegation Representative Michele Bachmann’s Southwest Metro Hotdish . 5 Hotdish Off.
