Common Cause Minnesota is a nonprofit, nonpartisan citizen’s lobby dedicated to improving the way state government operates. We have helped pass Minnesota’s most important ethics and campaign finance reforms.

With your help, we intend to advance a new round of initiatives that will once again make Minnesota a national model for government reform, increasing accountability to citizens and limiting the power of special interests.

Save Public Financing 

Governor Pawlenty has defunded a program that gives average Minnesotans a voice in the political process.

The Political Contribution Refund program has significantly decreased the amount of influence that the wealthy and special interest groups have over the political process.

Minnesota’s historically fair and impartial courts could soon be up for sale. You only need to look across the border to Wisconsin, where $6 million was spent during the most recent Supreme Court race, to see how special interest money can taint judicial elections.

Urge legislators to pass a constitutional amendment to protect our judicial election system from partisan politics.The proposal would create a merit-based nomination process, and voters could approve or reject the judge through a retention election.
