Introduced in 2021, the RCV legislation continued to build support and was one of the most popular bills in the 2022 legislative session. Unfortunately, the divided legislature remained gridlocked and left major bills undone, including RCV. To ensure RCV and other blocked election measures were heard, we organized a Rally for Democracy with other democracy reform organizations on May 4 in the Minnesota Capitol Rotunda where hundreds cheered on democracy champions who support protecting and expanding voting rights and passing powerful reforms like Ranked Choice Voting. Gov. Tim Walz spoke at the rally and reiterated his strong support for RCV, along with US Representatives Dean Phillips and Ilhan Omar and dozens of legislative champions. 158670 0 0 FairVote Minnesota hosted numerous events to prepare our supporters and voters for a critical election year. After redistricting maps came out in February, we shared our Insider's Briefing on Minnesota's political maps and what they mean for Ranked Choice Voting, with experts who shared their insights on how the new districts would impact Minnesota's political landscape for 2022 and the years ahead. Throughout the political convention season, we hosted a series of virtual candidate meet and greets for delegates and community members in state legislative districts with contested endorsements to help educate delegates and voters about the candidates and their stance on Ranked Choice Voting and other democracy reforms ahead of endorsing conventions. We attended more than 50 senate district and congressional district conventions -- tabling, educating delegates, submitting resolutions and ensuring the prominence and visibility of RCV. 114874 0 0 We continued our hugely successful RCV candidate program, initially launched in 2020, awarding the RCV democracy champion badge, regardless of party, to all candidates committed to supporting and passing RCV locally and statewide; we awarded badges to a total of 128 candidates, including gubernatorial candidates and legislative leaders, and we promoted their support throughout the campaign season. By the end of the election, we had secured the strong and public commitment from House and Senate leadership and Governor Walz to make RCV a priority in the 2023 session. 0 0 0 935371 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 MN X X The Organization 7638072550 550 Vandalia Street Suite 203 Saint Paul MN 55114 Jeanne Massey Executive Director 26.08 13.92 X 0 226116 0 Siyad Abdullahi Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Jack Uldrich Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Robin Garwood Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Matt Furman Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Tom Horner Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Emily Crabtree Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Jim Dorsey Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Kim Nelson Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Mike Osterholm Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Steve Kelley Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Michael Minta Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Zaylore Stout Director 0.5 0.5 X 0 0 0 Maureen Reed Chair 1.5 1.5 X X 0 0 0 Jim Watkins Vice Chair 0.5 0.5 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Imholte Treasurer 0.5 0.5 X X 0 0 0 Roann Cramer Secretary 0.5 0.5 X X 0 0 0 0 226116 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1609889 0 1609889 0 344 0 0 344 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1610233 0 0 344 X 130000 130000 147408 98548 17751 31109 300788 292785 6380 1623 27499 24618 1199 1682 33434 30203 1475 1756 11906 9436 2470 0 16846 0 16846 0 107353 107353 0 0 53141 53141 162987 161058 1929 5048 4631 377 40 29350 27337 296 1717 23053 17962 976 4115 12867 11481 652 734 8887 8691 155 41 9590 9157 373 60 2900 1937 678 285 Service Charges 3668 0 186 3482 336 174 125 37 1087061 935371 51868 99822 550 0 3684 496775 1300 2378 83076 0 192 6804 581151 15484 66660 15484 66660 X -8680 514491 0 0 -8680 514491 6804 581151 X 523172 0 0 0 0 -1 X 0 1 X 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Payables to related party 66660 66660 X Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Foundation's activities are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and under Minnesota Statute 290.05.
