From August to November 2020, we surveyed and spoke with state and local policymakers across Minnesota to understand how the government and private sector responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and what policymakers wanted from advocates. Policymakers identify the economy, public health, civil rights, and small business support as top issues facing the state as it recovers from COVID-19. This Review takes an in-depth look at changes in discussions about policy priorities for urban versus rural communities during the pandemic, policymakers’ concerns about budget deficits and economic recovery, civil rights, and best practices for effective advocacy in Minnesota.
