Welcome to the many hundreds of new arts advocates who have joined the Arts Alert list in the past several weeks!

“If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in which to live.” -President John F. Kennedy

WHAT DO YOUR CANDIDATES SAY ABOUT THE ARTS?

Here’s information you, as an arts advocate, can use to get more involved:
Minnesota Citizens for the Arts surveyed all the candidates for MN Governor and MN House and Senate for their views on the arts. You can look up your own candidate’s responses by district number. Click here to find out how to learn what your new district is and what your local candidates said about the arts. More information will be added as we obtain it.

This election will be very important to the arts community. Because the state has been redistricted and many legislators are retiring, arts advocates must familiarize themselves with new districts and brand new candidates. These new candidates may be learning about the importance of the arts in Minnesota for the first time. With this election, the balance of power in the Minnesota House, Senate and Governor’s office could fundamentally shift. YOUR VOTE COULD MAKE THE DIFFERENCE! Election Day is Tuesday, November 5. Many races are decided by just a few votes. Call the Secretary of State’s office at (651) 296-2803 (or toll free: 1-877-551-6767) to find out where you vote, or look at their web site: www.sos.state.mn.us
