Great questions being asked by members of the #mnleg Elections Committee hearing members. Hopefully it’s a sign of great things to come from bipartisan efforts to center MNstns in their work and not self or partisan interests. 🎉

You can’t both promote policies that work to destabilize our democracy AND expect us not to call you out #HoldingPowerAccountable. Want us to support your policies? Promote those centering Minnesotans and not special interests/deep pockets or party. #CommonSense

@billglahn You are describing C4 work. Policy education & nonpartisan GOTV work is not C4 work. If there is evidence of C3/C4 violations, you shld report it immediately so it's investigated, they are held accountable & public is informed. Conjectures are not facts. #disinformation

#PayAttention It’s common sense. @mnhousegop @mnhouseDFL get back to the work of centering Minnesotans - constituents who bestowed their political power trusting you to put them ahead of partisan interests. #HoldingPowerAccountable
KSTP poll gives both MN House GOP and DFL something to tout with majorities saying GOP should return to equal power agreement reached in December and plurality saying DFL members shouldn't get paid while boycotting House.
