    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.

  • Minnesota Primary: Key Incumbents Sent Packing
    News & Insights Minnesota Primary: Key Incumbents Sent Packing Alert 08.12.2020 By Paul Cassidy In the face of a pandemic, while many Minnesotans went to their assigned polling places yesterday in order to cast ballots for a number of contested inter-party challenges on both the DFL and Republican side of the aisle, hovering over the election is the specter of counting thousands of mail-in absentee ballots in a timely fashion. Due to the pandemic, many polling places have been consolidated and polling officials worry also that they don't have enough election judges and ballot officials. As of Tuesday morning, almost 500,000 voters had cast their ballot votes by mail. Additionally, due to a court order, absentee ballots will be accepted after Election Day, up to the day before the county's canvassing date. Headlining this year's Minnesota primary was a pitched battle between first-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and her challenger Antone Melton-Meaux, who were fighting for the DFL nomination and the right to go on to the general election. The race captured national attention due to Omar's high-profile progressive views and her membership in the "The Squad." Political analysts believe when all is said and done, this race will far outspend any previous primary totals in the history of Minnesota elections. In the end, Omar coasted to a relatively easy victory, with numbers not far off from her 2018 primary victory. A number of sitting Minnesota legislators faced challenges within their own party and fought to keep their seats in the Minnesota House and Senate.

  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Welcome to the first Child Care Aware Legislative Update of the 2021 legislative session. This narrative update, along with our Bill Tracker, will be posted each Tuesday (reflecting activity through the previous Friday) on the Child Care Aware of Minnesota website. Each week we will provide a brief overview of bills that have been introduced, action that has been taken at the committee level or on the floor, and any other pertinent news related to early care and education and school-age care issues. If you have additions to recommend to the bill tracker, please contact Ann McCully. OVERVIEW The Legislature convened on Tuesday, January 5 and is off to a quick start. There is no question that the state’s response to the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic is the primary issue facing legislators as they begin this session. This also a budget year to set the state’s budget for July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023, and while the economic picture has improved since the initial budget forecast last spring, there is still a projected budget deficit in the coming years, leading to some tough decisions ahead. More information about the budget projections can be found on the State Office of Management and Budget website. COMMITTEE STRUCTURE A new, two-year legislative session brings new members, new committees, and new committee assignments. While early care and education issues may show up in many places during the process, below are a few of the key committees that we will be watching. We encourage you to follow them as well! To find out about committee upcoming committee hearings and topics, visit the Minnesota State Legislature combined calendar page.

  • Background on AMSD Friend of Public Education Award
    Background on AMSD Friend of Public Education Award The AMSD Friend of Public Education Award was initiated in 2001. The award was originally established to recognize state legislators who made outstanding contributions in support of public education generally, and AMSD’s legislative priorities in particular. It was also seen as a way to build relationships with state policymakers. The initial plan was to recognize one senator and one house member from each majority caucus. However, the award has evolved over the years. In 2003, in addition to recognizing two legislators, the award was presented to three parents who had made significant contributions to public education. Parent leaders were recognized again in 2006. In 2004, the legislative committee decided to forego recognizing a legislator following a difficult legislative session. Instead, Art Rolnick and John Gunyou were recognized for their research and advocacy on behalf of early childhood education and public education generally. The legislative committee has discussed the idea of recognizing one legislator from each caucus following each legislative session to ensure bi-partisan recognition. After deliberation, the committee decided it was more important to recognize the legislators who made the most significant contributions to public education and to AMSD’s priorities, than to ensure bi-partisan recognition. In 2016, Congressman John Kline and Senator Al Franken were recognized for their respective roles in passing the Every Student Succeeds Act. (ESSA) This marked the first time congressional representatives were recognized. Past Winners of AMSD’s Friend of Public Education Award 2001 Rep. Alice Seagren Sen. Steve Kelley 2002 Rep. Ron Abrams Sen.

    May 11, 2021 Sent Electronically Sen. Eric Pratt Rep. Mohamud Noor Sen. Jason Rarick Rep. Rob Ecklund Sen. Rich Draheim Rep. Liz Olson Sen. Karin Housley Rep. Rod Hamilton Sen. Kent Eken Rep. Kaela Berg Dear Chair Pratt, Chair Noor and members of the Jobs/Labor Conference Committee: Thank you taking public testimony last week and allowing the Minnesota Hospital Association an opportunity to share our opposition to Article 12 in the House bill mandating paid emergency leave for essential workers. Hospitals and health systems in MN have taken significant steps since the beginning of the pandemic to support their front line caregivers and health care heroes and this unfunded mandate will impose significant hardships for the vast majority of Minnesota hospitals and health systems. So, why is this provision so bad for hospitals and health systems? 1) The number of essential workers that hospitals and health systems employ is a very high percentage of our workforce given the nature of services we provide. 2) This 160-hours of paid leave is a costly benefit above what hospitals have already provided for their employees. Based on statewide hospital payroll amounts, and the $511 per day cap in the bill, this would cost hospitals up to $740 million if you assume all eligible employees were to claim this benefit. Even if only 50% of employees use the benefit, that is still $370 million. 3) The federal government provided funding to pay for a similar paid leave benefit, but ONLY for those employers who were impacted by the March 18, 2020 federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act, employers who were either government entities, or employers with less than 500 employees.

  • A Friday Letter
    Date: March 19, 2021 To: Senator Paul Gazelka Representative Melissa Hortman Senate Majority Leader Speaker of the House Senator Julie Rosen Representative Rena Moran Chair, Senate Finance Committee Chair, House Ways and Means Committee From: Commissioner Jim Schowalter Subject: Session Submission of American Recovery Plan Federal Funds This letter is to advise you and your colleagues of additional, anticipated federal funds from the American Recovery Plan (ARP) Act of 2021. The attached document describes each award anticipated to be received by state agencies from the ARP and the estimated spending by fiscal year. Some of these estimates are based on formulaic estimates from Federal Funds Information for States, others are based on the agency’s analysis of the percentage of the total federal funds allocation that Minnesota received in the past. Additionally, some of the federal funds listed have legal authority to spend outside the LAC process in M.S. 3.3005. These funds are presented for information purposes.
