How Minnesota is becoming a laboratory in pushing progressive policy [View all]

How fortunate I am to be living in Minnesota at this time. A truly progressive place to be.

Source: NBC News

When Minnesota Democrats won back the majority in the state Senate last fall, they achieved the dream: a trifecta of control across the Legislature and the governor's office.

They weren't the only ones. Democrats did the same in Maryland, Massachusetts and Michigan, whereas Republicans failed to nab any new trifecta in the 2022 elections.

But it's Minnesota that's attracting attention as a laboratory for how to effectively use that power to achieve progressive policy priorities.
