Friend,

In Minnesota, when we see that something isn't working, we do all we can to change it.

That's why I was proud to co-sponsor the democracy reform bill H.R. 1 (also known as the For The People Act) when I arrived in Congress. It's also why I'm a vocal supporter of ranked choice voting.

Ranked choice voting is growing in popularity: Last year, residents of Minnetonka and Bloomington voted to implement it. But its future is uncertain -- right now, Republicans in the State Senate are working on legislation to prohibit it in local jurisdictions, even when the majority of voters want it.

It's undemocratic, and I won't stand for it. Add your name next to mine today to condemn this effort by Republican state legislators to bring undemocratic election laws to Minnesota >>

Ranked choice voting incentivizes candidates to build coalitions and, once elected, build consensus. Maybe more important, in our current system candidates often find that they can win by tearing down their opponent. Elections become cutthroat contests that polarize voters or, worse, make them not want to vote at all. Ranked Choice Voting changes that dynamic and empowers the voter.

Ranked choice voting is a proven solution: It lets people rank candidates in order of preference, rather than settling on just one. It makes elections less divisive and more reflective of the will of the people. Why would Republicans want to prevent that?

I can only speculate about that. But I am absolutely sure of this: We need to keep Georgia-style election laws like this out of Minnesota. Add your name next to mine if you agree.

With gratitude,

Dean Phillips
