On The Issues:

Addressing the skyrocketing cost of living

Minnesota Democrats are focused on helping working families keep more of their hard-earned money by fighting against corporate greed. They’ve fought to crack down on price gouging and cap prescription drug prices (1, 2), and are working to ban surveillance pricing where companies use customers’ personal data to charge different prices for the same products. (3)

Minnesota Democrats know greedy corporations are to blame for many rising costs, and are focused on holding those corporations accountable to ensure Minnesotans can afford the basics we rely on– like food, energy, and housing. They’ll keep working to make it easier to buy a home you can afford, and are committed to addressing skyrocketing home insurance costs and rising property taxes. (4, 5)

Minnesota Republicans caved to pressure from pharmaceutical industry lobbyists, opposing capping costs on common, life-saving prescription drugs (6), forcing local hospitals to pay more for medicine, (7) and forcing Minnesotans off of their health insurance. (8)

Minnesota Republicans are running on a platform that calls for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations which could drive up local taxes and costs for working families, as well as calling for creating massive new sales taxes on everything we buy, including groceries, clothing, and prescription drugs. Their new sales taxes would be used to cut taxes for the wealthy and big corporations, shifting the burden to the rest of us. (9)

Preventing fraud and corruption

Minnesota Democrats are taking on fraud in Minnesota, from leading efforts to establish an independent, non-partisan Office of Inspector General to investigate fraud across state government (10), hiring more prosecutors to catch Medicaid fraud (11), as well as increasing criminal penalties on anyone who commits fraud, regardless of their party. (12) Minnesota Democrats are advocating for a top to bottom audit to fix systemic problems that led to fraud. (13)

Minnesota Republicans are letting Donald Trump and his billionaire friends get away with blatant acts of corruption–using the presidency to enrich himself and his family, cutting a deal to get immunity from IRS scrutiny, using our tax dollars to build himself a ballroom, and proposing a slush fund for the January 6th rioters. (14)

Fighting back against Federal overreach and costly tariffs

Minnesota Democrats worked to put an end to Operation Metro Surge, voting to prohibit ICE officers from wearing face coverings, preventing their entrance into schools and daycares without a warrant, and allowing Minnesotans to sue ICE for violating their civil rights. (15)

They will continue working to safeguard Minnesota from federal overreach – protecting Minnesotans’ access to healthcare, right to vote, and ability to make ends meet without the continuing costs associated with Trump’s tariffs and war in Iran.

Minnesota Republicans have been a rubber stamp for Trump’s agenda, voting to give Minnesotans' personal voter data to the Trump administration and bring Trump's Medicaid cuts to Minnesota, which could take health insurance away from 140,000 seniors and people with disabilities (16, 17, 18).

After Trump sent ICE agents to target Minnesotans, Minnesota Republicans voted to let ICE agents enter our schools without a warrant and traumatize children. They blocked legislation that would have protected daycares and hospitals from unconstitutional ICE raids, banned ICE agents from hiding their identities with masks, and let Minnesotans sue ICE for violations of their civil rights.
