The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce operates mymn.org, an ambitious, multi-year public engagement and issue advocacy effort to fundamentally change Minnesota's public policy environment. Their research has shown that most Minnesotans and business leaders agree on the issues, they just don't know it. We all talk a different language, and tend to speak up when the partisan volume is the highest.www.mymn.org offers a new approach better suited for the new economic and political climate. With a growing frustration of political partisanship and a sense that Minnesota is losing its edge, mymn.org will unite Minnesotans around a brand to build a better more competitive Minnesota.
