Vote! For this election, you will be voting for a governor, state senator, and a state representative. They all have a major impact on youth work, youth workers, and our young people. Learn where they stand. This is your MN Youth Intervention voter guide.

Our young people need legislators that support Youth Intervention! 

A major theme of this election is public safety and Youth Intervention falls under public safety at the Minnesota Capitol. The candidates voted into office will be passing laws and making funding decisions that will affect our young people and your programs for the next two years. As state lawmakers grapple over how to reimagine public safety, it’s imperative they understand now, before election day, that Youth Intervention is hands down the best public safety strategy available to them.
Where do your candidates stand on Youth Intervention?
If you’re not sure of your district or who your candidates are, click here to find out. We’ve sent a quick questionnaire to all 390 candidates for the 201 state legislative seats and asked them just one basic question, “Do you see the financial and social benefits of community-based Youth Intervention as a means to improve public safety and save taxpayer money?”
We’ll post their replies to our questionnaire on this web page as we receive them, right up until Election Day, Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

This election is so important and our young people need your help! If your candidates have not replied yet, call them or email them and ask them to complete the questionnaire. Tell them you believe strongly in Youth Intervention and our young people and that you’ll be casting your vote in favor of candidates that do too!

Youth Intervention Questionnaire responses for Minnesota legislative candidates are below.

Suzanne M. Cekalla 10 DFL Yes Years ago I ran a regional Community Action Project where I saw firsthand what a difference the right job at the right time could make, especially for a young person with multiple risk factors. We helped prepare teens and young adults for good-paying jobs that gave them safe opportunities to change the lives of their whole families. Putting aside the moral righteousness of supporting young people in need, intervention in young lives saves massive amounts of money in policing and prisons and injects new revenue into our tax system in the form of otherwise unrealized worker productivity. Not all decisions are quite so clear cut, but providing community support for youth in need really is an investment in our collective future. 3202004420 https://cekallaforsenate.com/ suzanne@cekallaforsenate.com

Farhio Khalif 37 DFL Yes The poet Wendell Berry said: "The smallest unit of health is the community. To think about the health of an isolated individual is a contradiction in terms." Life is about relationships and community. Some relationships are positive and some offer some challenges - all allow us to learn and grow. Lack of relationships is uniformly detrimental. Relationships are particularly important for youth because it sets them on a life-course that determines whether they thrive or not. Relationships give youth a sense of belonging and keeps them from being alienated from their community and broader society. Investing in building these relationships is the best thing society can do. 6127024913 www.farhiokhalif.com farhiokhalifmn@gmail.com

Nicole Mitchell 47 DFL Yes Absolutely! I believe investing in our children is not only the morally right thing to do, but it also brings great societal value. I've volunteered extensively with abused/neglected children and am currently a foster parent. When children have more support and options they are more likely to become adults who are contributing members of our society. Crime, teen pregnancy, and other issues decrease, so investing in children ultimately also saves taxpayer funds. 6124401773 nicolemitchell.org votenicolemitchell@gmail.com

I believe safety is good paying jobs – especially for those that work with youth such as teachers, social workers, and community builders. I believe safety is healthcare for all – which will cut costs for school districts and individual families so more money can be spent on supporting students. I will be advocating for empowerment of our youth no matter what committee I sit on or what issue we’re talking about, because I know that investing in our youth is an investment for our future. 6512336225 clareverbeten.com info@clareverbeten.com

Mary Hinnenkamp 23A DFL Yes After graduating from college, I joined VISTA, Volunteers in Service to America. One of our projects in rural Kentucky was working with a youth group to empower them to find jobs, make good choices, and perform community services. Over the next six years, I worked as a counselor at group home programs for youth in the Bronx, suburban Chicago and in the Washington DC area. Young people admitted to these programs were sometimes homeless, estranged in some way from their families, and at risk of not finishing high school. The programs were community based and helped youth to return home, find another relative to live with, or become independent. I then moved to Albert Lea, Mn where I taught and then became the director of the Albert Lea Area Learning Center, a school for students who were being unsuccessful in the main stream school setting. My students were teen moms, students who worked long hours, students with mental health or drug struggles. Nearly all lived in poverty. My job was to help them make and carry out a plan to graduate from high school and move on to new challenges. After 20 years a the ALC, I ended my teaching career at Fountain Centers Treatment Program, teaching adolescents who were admitted with problems of chemical addiction. I was part of the team and provided the educational services so that my students would receive credit when they returned to their home districts. Upon retirement, I began volunteering at Halverson Elementary School as a reading buddy for kindergarteners and first graders, and volunteered at SW Middle School helping with English Language Learners (EL) students until COVID stopped all volunteering opportunities. I am very supportive of youth intervention programs and fully funding then so our youth get the resources they need to reach their full potential. It has been my life's work. 5073208676 www.maryfor23a.com maryfor23a@gmail.com

We did it by expanding policing and changing up the way we did policing to build stronger connections between police and the community. But an equally important part of the success was community-based youth intervention. A similar comprehensive approach statewide will improve public safety and save taxpayer money. 7632029012 www.votefornorris.com matt@votefornorris.com
