John,

Once again, debate and voting on the Ranked Choice Voting Local Option bill has been delayed by other business — so we’re back at the Capitol again tomorrow. The list of bills lawmakers have left to address is shrinking, and the RCV bill could come up at any time. 

Huge thanks to everyone who showed up today and throughout the week! As Chief Author Cedrick Frazier told us today, our consistent and strong presence is the reason why this bill is on the schedule. Now’s the time to make our voices heard more loudly and more clearly that we expect the bill to be heard!

Come tomorrow (Saturday) at 10am (watch for any change in time) in front of the House Chamber to greet legislators as they come in and then head to the gallery where they can see us all. We don’t know when the bill will be up so come then and stay as long as you can. The important time is to have a big presence at the start of the session. If you can’t be there until later, watch for updates on when the bill will be up. 

What: House Floor Session on RCV Local Option Bill. 

When: Saturday, May 18, 10:00am (watch for any change in time).

Where: House Chambers, Minnesota State Capitol (75 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard., St Paul, MN 55155). Note, you can park in the old Sears parking lot (425 Rice St, St Paul, MN 55103), or at paid or street parking nearby.

More reason to come tomorrow: It’s Songkran (Thai New Year’s) Festival and you it’s all things Thai for lunch on the Capitol lawn tomorrow. 

We also need to make sure that our lawmakers know ahead of time how important this issue is to you. If you haven’t already, take a few moments now to send them a message (add your own custom touch if you are able) and make sure they know you want them to vote YES! 

Thank you for continuing to show up and letting the legislators know the RCV bill is important to you. Your presence is key to getting the bill over the finish line.

See you there!
