As a candidate for the City Council in Ward 2, I was approached by a group
that would like to send out a questionnaire to all candidates for the
Minneapolis City Council and the Mayor's race. They were collecting
individual candidate's campaign mailing addresses and asked me if I knew of
a single source of this information. I told them that I did not know if
such a list currently existed but that I would investigate it for them.
I know that E-Democracy has a list started but it contains more holes than
swiss cheese. Does anyone know of a complete list of candidates and their
campaign mailing addresses? If one doesn't exist, would list members be
interested in sending me partial information about individual candidates or
groups of candidates? I would be interested in compiling a list and then
making it available to the general public.
As has been previously stated on this forum by Jim Bernstein and others, I
think that the City should make the filing information public. And
following Jim's lead, my information is:

EY:
I agree totally that Filing information should be public. It has always
been public at the much maligned Republican Secretary of State's
website. It's goofy that the information is supposedly "private".
There are many of us who want to know about the candidates that are running
without the DFL label - since the DFL label is a negative for city council
and mayoral candidates.
I'd challenge the City DFL leadership to take a public stand in favor of
making candidate contact information public.
Kudos to former Republican Jim Bernstein (please come back to the
Republican Party, Jim, we need you there) for urging the city to do the
right thing.
