In their own words
Priorities
- Adopting proportional representation for the Minnesota House and ranked-choice voting for state executive offices, and allowing cities and counties to use those methods.[2]
- Divesting state investments from weapons makers and fossil fuel and other companies; the questionnaire's editor's note says the Secretary of State sits on, but does not manage, the State Board of Investment.[2]
