Four seats on Hennepin County’s seven-member Board of Commissioners are on the ballot. Does your next commissioner support safe, accessible, clean transportation options for all, or “business as usual:” speeding, polluting traffic and dangerous conditions for people walking, bicycling, rolling or accessing public transit?
Be an informed voter with direct answers from the candidates to questions from Sierra Club North Star Chapter, Move Minnesota, and Streets MN. Note: none of our organizations endorsed any candidate. The transportation questionnaire is for informational purposes only.
Below are side-by-side comparisons of transportation priorities, direct from the candidates.
