Our young people need legislators that support Youth Intervention! 

This election is about more than any single issue. The people we elect will make decisions that affect young people, families, and communities across Minnesota. For those of us who care deeply about young people, this is an opportunity to make sure their needs and voices are represented at the Capitol. The leaders we elect will shape policies and funding that affect young people and Youth Intervention programs for years to come.

This election cycle, all state-level constitutional offices are on the ballot, including Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and State Auditor. In addition, all seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives and Minnesota State Senate are up for election.

Where do your candidates stand on Youth Intervention?
We’ve sent a brief questionnaire to candidates running for the Minnesota House and Senate, as well as candidates for statewide constitutional offices. We asked them 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 3, 2026.

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!
