  • August 28, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC DELIVERY the Honorable Tim
    August 28, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC DELIVERY The Honorable Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota 130 State Capitol 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. St. Paul, MN 55155 Dear Governor Walz: On March 13th, you signed Emergency Executive Order 20-01, Declaring a Peacetime Emergency and Coordinating Minnesota's Strategy to Protect Minnesotans from COVID-19. At that time, Minnesota – like the rest of the world – was grappling with the appropriate response to such a quickly spreading pandemic. When you ordered places of public accommodation to close and directed Minnesotans to stay home, we were told that we could not stop the virus, but needed to buy enough time to “flatten the curve” and allow the healthcare system to accommodate a projected spike in cases. Initially, the Legislature was involved in the process, quickly passing over $550 million in support of the state’s COVID-19 response. Since then, however, you have chosen to sideline the Legislature by unilaterally spending $1.6 billion in federal CARES Act money and issuing executive orders. Your orders have affected almost every facet of Minnesotans’ lives, including schools, nursing homes, public services, housing, jobs, government, and recreation. While the overall impact of these actions are immeasurable, it’s important to highlight some compelling numbers: • In total, you have issued 75 executive orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic. • Initial MDH modeling projected as many as 74,000 COVID-related deaths, which was later revised to 50,000. We are now past the 16-week projected peak and our actual death total is 1,806, of which 1,331 (74%) are associated with long term care facilities.

  • 2020 Election Guide—Primary Update Minnesota
    2020 Election Guide—Primary Update Minnesota 2020 will be one of the more unusual election years in Minnesota history. The only statewide races will be for President, Tina Smith's US Senate seat, and former Speaker of the House Paul Thissen's first election race for the Supreme Court seat he was appointed to two years ago. No constitutional officers are on the ballot this year. All 201 legislative offices are on the November ballot, and campaigning may look very different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Candidates usually connect with their communities by walking parades, and most have been cancelled for this year. Door-knocking will be difficult due to social distancing guidelines, and candidates will likely not have the opportunity to hold large in-person fundraising events, which may make it more difficult to raise money for their campaigns. The general election is November 3 and early voting begins September 18. Noteworthy Primary Races Congressional District 5: The most high-profile race of the 2020 primary was the CD5 Democratic primary. Representative Ilhan Omar faced multiple primary challengers in her first bid for re- election to Congress. Antone Melton-Meaux was seen as Representative Omar’s main competitor in the primary. Melton-Meaux spent more than $6 million on his campaign which ended up gaining the primary national attention. The city of Minneapolis had the highest turnout for a primary election in more than 50 years with over 100,000 residents that voted. Representative Omar ended up winning her primary by a comfortable margin, with 57.94% of the vote.
