  • 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.

  • 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.
