This November, Vote Pro-Housing

The decisions that elected officials make at every level of government impact you. With little housing inventory and growing home prices, it is time for lawmakers to take action and create real solutions to fix our growing housing crisis in Minnesota.

That is why we encourage you to vote for candidates up and down the ballot that will prioritize homeownership opportunities, advance ways to increase starter home inventory, and lower the costs of housing for more Minnesotans.

For our state to move ahead and tackle the disparities in our communities, we must be able to build new starter homes and get back to the housing market basics that made our state a leader in homeownership.

There is no simple one-step solution to fix our broken housing market. Rather we need policy changes at all levels of government, but perhaps one of the most impactful would be at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul. All 134 seats in the Minnesota House and all 67 seats in the Minnesota Senate are on the ballot this year. This is in addition to all the constitutional offices that include the governor, lieutenant governor, state auditor, secretary of state, and attorney general.

“Voting comes naturally to Minnesotans. We typically rank among the highest turnout states in the country,” said Mark Foster, vice president of legislative & political affairs. “With housing affordability continuing to become a top-tier issue we must prioritize a candidate’s housing policy position and voting record when considering who to vote for.”
