Every Minnesotan deserves clean water to drink & protection from toxic chemicals. We must defend the laws, help legislators stand firm in upholding them, & protect our communities from toxic PFAS. These hard-won protections shouldn't be weakened. #mnleg

Day 2 of the Lottery Campaign Kick-off! Today we're in Duluth, joining the @mngreatoutdoors coalition to share the importance of voting YES in November to keep the lottery working for our Great Outdoors.

The @echopress editorial board supports the lottery vote happening on November's ballot. "We urge all residents to vote "yes" on the ballot question... A measure that protects our lakes & national resources is something that should never be skipped." https://t.co/p4SdCKPDin
