“Voters deserve to have as much information as possible before casting their votes, which is why Common Cause Minnesota has partnered with Acer Inc and Hired to sponsor these two candidate forums. We encourage the public and media to come ask important questions of these candidates and how they plan to work for we the people.” said Annastacia Belladonna-Carrera, executive director of Common Cause Minnesota. “We also encourage everyone to take the Me + 3 pledge and make sure they are registered to vote, their voter registration is updated, and make sure three people do the same. Plan to vote early in person or request your absentee ballot to vote from home. Your voice and vote matter, make sure they are both heard and counted in this year’s primary and general elections.”  

Common Cause, ACER, and Hired are nonpartisan organizations and do not endorse or oppose candidates or parties. The purpose of the forums is education. It is to provide voters with access to candidates to learn more about their platforms.
