Priorities

Let’s reignite Minnesota’s North Star around the things that matter.  Let’s be a state known for affordability, good jobs through a working economy, great schools and safe streets.  And let’s apply our time-tested Minnesota values to the Minnesota of today, so each and every Minnesotan has the opportunity to build a better life.

Affordability

Affordability

Let’s be the state where…a young couple can afford to buy a home and start a family; where new parents have access to quality, affordable child care; where every family can count on affordable health care; and where property taxes, income taxes, and energy costs are reasonable.

Economy

A Working Economy

Let’s be the state where…hard-working Minnesotans feel secure in good jobs with opportunities to grow and earn more; where our economy ranks among the Top 10 in GDP, job, and wage growth; and where businesses choose to invest, expand, and thrive.

Education

Great Schools

Let’s be the state where…every parent knows their child is receiving an excellent public education, strong in core subjects and preparing them for future success; where at least two-thirds of students meet grade-level standards in reading and math; where we rank in the Top 10 nationally; and where the achievement gap narrows every year.

Public Safety

Safe Streets

Let’s be the state where…everyone feels safe in their community, where a single woman can walk her neighborhood without fear and every Minnesotan can park their car overnight without worry; where crime rates are well below the national average; where laws are enforced, justice is swift, and consequences are clear; and where police departments are fully staffed and supported.

Minnesota Values

Minnesota Values

Let’s be the state where…hard work is recognized and rewarded, responsibility is encouraged, freedom is protected, and caring for the vulnerable is a shared priority.
