I'm sure that you haven't missed the fact that we are in the midst of political campaigns and caucuses. Now is the time when candidates will listen to what you have to say... It is a great time to remind them that early education means more jobs, higher revenues, more secure parental employment and better business productivity. NOW is the time to invest in our future.
Attend your Precinct Caucus Today... February 5!
This process is about grassroots participation. This is YOUR opportunity to bring forth the issues that YOU care about. Your input is valuable to your party!
Precinct caucuses are the beginning of the process that Minnesota’s major political parties use for choosing the candidate and the issues they will support in elections. This is a great opportunity to connect with your neighbors and raise issues that are important to you, like quality early care and education.
As part of the precinct caucus process, citizens are encouraged to bring forward resolutions. Ready 4 K has prepared a sample resolution in support of increased state investments to expand access to high quality early learning choices. Click here to see the sample resolution and tips on presenting the resolution at your caucus.
To find out where your precinct caucus will be held, visit the website of your party: Democratic-Farmer-Labor (www.dfl.org), Green Party (www.mngreens.org), Independence (www.mnip.org), Republican (www.gop-mn.org). To find your precinct, visit the Secretary of State’s website (http://pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us/).
Time to make your vote count and your voice heard...
