Protecting our democracy depends on you.
Clean Elections Minnesota
Our Mission
Clean Elections Minnesota is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that seeks an inclusive and healthy democracy for our state. We educate and advocate– for expanded voter access, transparency, and reforms that limit the power of big and dark money and special interests in our political process.
Protecting Our Democracy
Fighting Voter Suppression
In a clean election, eligible voters have easy access to vote and are not discouraged or blocked from voting by any rule or person.
Keeping Big Money Out of politics
Our Work
What We’re Doing
“We can either have democracy in this country, or we can have extreme wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.”
— Justice Brandeis
Increased Transparency and Limited Impact of Money in Politics
We advocate for Campaign Finance Reform, increased public financing, and decreased donations from national and foreign corporate and mega-donors. Money shouldn’t dictate election outcomes. The power should be in the hands of voters.
We advocate for the sources of political donations to be disclosed, so voters are able to see who is supporting candidates. Our goal is for dark money – funding that cannot be linked back to the individuals providing it – no longer plays a dominant role in Minnesota elections.
Fair & Easy Access to Voting
We advocate for Minnesota voters to have fair and easy access to voting, resulting in increased registration and voting across all ages, races, zip codes and abilities.
Informed and Engaged Electorate
We educate so Minnesotans have an increased trust in elections and election outcomes, and there is strong public support of the democratic process.
We work so the Minnesota electorate is informed and engaged. We educate so Minnesotans know the elements of a healthy democracy and are able and willing to fight to protect it.
“I’ve been around this work for a long time… I have to say your organization (Clean Elections) has taken off like a rocket ship. You are everywhere. You are in the halls of the legislature; you are testifying in committee after committee. There is a buzz about what you are doing. And you’ve been a respected and effective voice this year and I know you will be for years to come.”
