Dear Neighbors,

It’s an honor to serve our community at the State Capitol. The legislative session began January 5th. I’d like your feedback on issues that could be discussed this year.

As your Representative, I’m committed to recovering and rebuilding from COVID, and ensuring Minnesotans have affordable health care, great educational opportunities from preschool through job training, and economic security. We need to help Minnesotans get through this pandemic and thrive after it.

If you’d like, please complete this survey by March 31, 2021.

Please get in touch with me anytime. I appreciate hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Rep. John Huot

Question Title

* 3. COVID has impacted all of our lives, but it hasn’t hit everyone equally. How have you or your family been impacted by COVID-19? (Check all that apply)

Question Title

* 4. The pandemic has made clear that workers need to be able to take paid time off to care for loved ones or themselves when they’re sick. This is important not just for families’ economic security, but also to protect public health. Do you support or oppose a state-administered paid family and medical leave insurance program so everyone can access paid family and medical leave? (Employers and employees would pay a small increment from each paycheck to fund the paid time off)

Question Title

* 6. What concerns you most about the future of our state?

Question Title

* 7. Climate change is one of the most significant threats to Minnesota’s future economic growth and vitality. We have a responsibility to be part of the solution. Do you support Minnesota taking action on climate, including requiring utilities to generate 100% of our electricity from clean and renewable resources by 2040?

Question Title

* 8. Do you or your family face any of the following obstacles to accessing affordable health care?

Question Title

* 9. Over the past two decades, state funding for public education has not kept up with inflation, resulting in long-term and substantial under-investment in our schools, compared to our historical state investments in education. Our educational rankings compared to other states have dropped as we have decreased our funding commitment to schools. Do you support stronger state funding for education to ensure that children all over the State of Minnesota have access to the same high-quality level of education, or do you believe the state should provide only basic funding, and local school districts should pass property tax referendums if they would like higher quality or additional opportunities for students?

Question Title
