John,
As the year comes to a close, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude and excitement for the strides we've made together in 2023. Your unwavering commitment to FairVote Minnesota has been the backbone of our success, and I am immensely grateful for your steadfast support.
And now, looking ahead to 2024, we aim to pass the RCV Local Options bill. This critical measure––which is a priority for Secretary Simon, the League of Minnesota Cities, and the League of Women Voters––will authorize all local jurisdictions to adopt RCV if they wish and give more Minnesota communities the opportunity to experience its benefits. RCV eliminates local primaries, saving time and taxpayer dollars; increases voter turnout, and makes elections more inclusive, civil and representative.
The 2024 session is going to be short, and we’re going to need resources to prioritize and advance this important legislation. Expanding RCV to more communities across Minnesota is the best way to demonstrate its success and eventually bring RCV statewide. So as we move into the new year, we’re asking all of you to join us in giving the gift of democracy and recommitting to the movement.
Will you make a donation in whatever amount you can by December 31 to fund the work ahead? [[link removed]]
DONATE TODAY
The 2023 RCV elections once again demonstrated its success. Voters were able to express their preferences across multiple candidates, voter turnout increased overall compared to similar elections prior to implementing RCV, the cities saved the cost of holding a city primary where only a small percentage of voters participated, and RCV continued to demonstrate its ability to accelerate representation of women and people of color in elected office.
Hitting our end of year fundraising goal is critical to ensuring we can build the program and team to pass RCV in 2024. Will you make a donation and help us keep up our momentum? [[link removed]]
I cannot thank you enough for your continued commitment to this cause of nothing less than saving our democracy.
This holiday season, we’re so thankful for your support of FairVote Minnesota’s work to protect and strengthen our democracy.
Thank you and happy holidays,
Jeanne Massey
