As Minnesota enters the third decade of the 21st century, the state is facing serious challenges. A shrinking labor force and limited economic growth and innovation. Elevated rates of violent crime. A state government that is growing dramatically in size, cost, and scope without commensurate benefits or appropriate accountability. Key governing bodies increasingly animated by far-left activists implementing policies that hinder the economic growth necessary for the state’s future success and that are bad for workers, families, and communities. 

And Minnesotans sense that their home has lost something of the exceptionalism that has made our state great. 

The Minnesota Private Business Council believes that by embracing commonsense policies Minnesota can face down its challenges and set the course for decades of abundance in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.

Comprised of key leaders from a broad array of Minnesota’s privately held businesses, the Council works with leaders in government, business, and communities to advocate for policies that will lead to job growth, new business creation and entrepreneurship, and broad-based well-being for Minnesota’s workers and their families.

Minnesota has an exceptional past, and we must set its course for an exceptional future. For all Minnesotans.
