2022 Rural Caucus State Endorsement Questionnaire
Dear Minnesota State Legislative Candidate,

The DFL Rural Caucus invites you to seek our endorsement for the 2022 election. The Rural Caucus Endorsement Committee, comprised of members from throughout Greater Minnesota, has developed a two-part endorsement process.

• Part 1 involves the completion of this questionnaire, which reflects key issues that have been prioritized by the Rural Caucus as critical to Greater Minnesota families, our rural communities, small businesses, and family farmers.  When submitting the questionnaire, we also ask you to submit campaign literature, and/or a campaign website link or background information.  Note that these questionnaire responses will be shared with the Rural Caucus Executive Committee as well as members when making endorsement decisions.  The Rural Caucus will review questionnaire responses and determine whether to consider a candidate interview.  We may waive the interview for legislators who are incumbents seeking election in new districts.  Please keep your questionnaire answers limited to what you plan to do if elected, (or will do if re-elected) to address the issue.
 
• Part 2 involves a brief endorsement interview of about 30 minutes with Rural Caucus Endorsement Committee leaders and members.  A recommendation for endorsement may be advanced to the Rural Caucus Executive Committee. You’ll be notified of our decision as soon as possible.  

We would like to endorse candidates who are DFL Rural Caucus members and encourage you to join. Not yet a member?  You can join here today at  https://www.dflruralcaucus.org/members

Please complete this questionnaire, adding your campaign website and relevant campaign information, and submit it at your earliest convenience.
