MAPE PAC
Political Action Committee
Our work:
- Candidate endorsements. Every two years, our PAC screens and endorses candidates for the State House to ensure a labor-friendly Legislature. Every four years, our PAC endorses candidates running for office in the State Senate and executive branch of Minnesota government to ensure a labor-friendly governor and lieutenant governor, state auditor, secretary of state and attorney general. The PAC follows an expedited endorsement process for incumbents seeking reelection, which references the lifetime legislative vote scores of an incumbent based on MAPE's legislative priorities. Incumbents seeking an expedited endorsement must request one from the MAPE PAC. The PAC may choose to review or withhold an expedited endorsement under special circumstances by majority vote of the PAC. Candidates seeking an endorsement screening, please contact Tanner Fritsinger at tfritsinger@mape.org.
Ready to step up your political action? Join the MAPE-PAC Board!
The MAPE PAC is seeking members to fill two vacancies on their Board to help lead the fight for a pro-labor legislature. If you are interested in Minnesota politics this is your chance to play a direct role in shaping endorsements, building political power, and electing candidates who stand with state employees.
We are looking for members who:
- are a dues-paying member of MAPE
- are a MAPE PAC contributor
-
are ready to commit to at least 20 door-knock or phone-bank shifts for MAPE-endorsed candidates in swing districts during the 2026 campaign cycle.
What the MAPE PAC Board does:
The MAPE PAC Board directs political action by deciding which candidates to support, making financial contributions, and organizing members to volunteer on pro-labor campaigns. As a PAC Board member, you will help screen and endorse pro-labor candidates, mobilize Minnesota voters through door knocks and phone banks, and build the power we need to win for MAPE members at the Capitol and in our next contract.
If you are interested in joining MAPE PAC Board, please contact Tanner Fritsinger at tfritsinger@mape.org from your non-state email address by November 10th.
