  • Presidential Election Results

    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.
  • 2020 Final Public Subsidy Payments

    2020 Final Public Subsidy Payments

    CAMPAIGN FINANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE BOARD RELEASES FINAL PUBLIC SUBSIDY PAYMENT AMOUNTS FOR 2020 ELECTION During 2020 the Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board distributed $2,131,887 in public subsidy payments to 349 candidates running for state senate or state representative. The 349 candidates who received a public subsidy payment represent 78% of the 449 legislative candidates who were on the general election ballot. A list of qualifying candidates and the payments they received is attached. Of the 504 candidates who filed for state legislative office this year, 401 (79.3%) signed voluntary agreements to abide by spending limits and other conditions required to be eligible for public subsidy payments for their campaigns. To qualify for public subsidy a candidate must: • be opposed at either the primary or general election, • appear on the general election ballot, • sign and file a public subsidy agreement with the Board to abide by applicable campaign expenditure limits, and • raise a specified amount in contributions from individuals eligible to vote in Minnesota counting only the first $50 from each donor. Money for the public subsidy program comes from the state general fund. A portion of public subsidy money is allocated to specific parties and districts based on taxpayer checkoffs on income and property tax returns. By office and party, the total public subsidy payments totaled: DFL RPM State Senate $670,054 $393,772 House of Representatives $663,589 $404,471 Total $1,333,643 $798,243 DFL = Democratic Farmer Labor RPM = Republican Party of Minnesota Note: No other major or minor party candidates qualified for a public subsidy payment in 2020.
  • To a Letter the Caucus Issued

    To a Letter the Caucus Issued

    February 1, 2019 Dear DFL Colleagues, On February 28th, during our Joint Convention, we will select four new members to the University of Minnesota Board of Regents. ⅓ of the board membership is significant. We’ll have an opportunity to elect the most diverse Board in the history of the University and we recommend that our DFL joint Caucus unite around the opportunity to elect four people of color as University of MN Regents this term. As elected officials representing Indigenous communities and communities of color, we are concerned that the University of Minnesota has made little or no progress towards meeting the goals of the resolution adopted in 2016 to improve the retention and recruitment of underrepresented students. The University has not met its goals of addressing persistent graduation gaps and improving its campus climate for students of color and Indigenous students. We believe that adding more diversity to the Board of Regents will be a critical step towards fulfilling these goals and addressing the persistent disparities affecting the University of Minnesota. We need a more robust effort recruiting, retaining, and graduating more professionals in every program at the U. We can't afford the current status quo. The POCI Caucus, after carefully reviewing the applicant’s resumes and their background, has decided to support the election of the following candidates for Regents: Student Regent: Mike Kenyana Fifth District Regent: Peggy Lucas At Large Regents: Dr. Abdul Omari and Kao Ly Ilean Her. After assessing the composition of the current Board, which was appointed during the last cycle, when NONE of the 12 finalists forwarded to the joint committee were people of color, we concluded that this year’s pool of candidates offered a great opportunity to diversify the Board.

    Aq-Rule4-10Z4 Precisely the Type of Scenario the Legislature Envisioned When the Administrative Procedures Act Was Adopted

    Jamie Long Attachment We, the 58 undersigned members of the Minnesota Legislature, offer the following comments in support of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Proposed Rules Adopting Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards—Clean Cars Minnesota, Minnesota Rules, chapter 7023. We appreciate the opportunity to comment in these proceedings and encourage adoption of the rules as necessary and reasonable, and commensurate with the public interest and Minnesota law. Clean Cars Minnesota has been the subject of significant public interest and discussion. As legislators, we have participated in robust ongoing dialogue regarding the merits of the proposed rules with our constituents, stakeholders, and each other. This careful and deliberate scrutiny has led us to the conclusion that the proposed rules will benefit Minnesotans and should be adopted. Statutory Authority and Legislative Intent As current members of the legislative branch, we are uniquely positioned to offer our perspective on the authority and responsibilities granted to the agency by the Legislature specific to vehicle emissions as well as the agency’s general rulemaking authority. The powers and responsibilities of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) are described in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 116. Of particular relevance to the proposed rules, Section 116.07, Subdivision 2, states “the agency shall also adopt standards of air quality, including maximum allowable standards of emission of air contaminants from motor vehicles…”. This provision demonstrates in very specific terms the Legislature’s intent that MPCA is expected to adopt standards of the exact type now proposed by the agency. This language was adopted in 1967, which means that the Minnesota House and Senate have had 54 regular sessions in which we could have reconsidered and agreed upon a repeal or amendment of this section of law.
