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.
