To effectively advocate for patients and our profession, nurses must be involved in government right from the beginning, and that starts with elections. MNA members endorse candidates who support our issues. The endorsement process involves members at every step of the way.
MNA members have done the research on the issues that matter most to Minnesota nurses: safe staffing, Health Care for All, collective bargaining, personal protective equipment (PPE), workplace violence prevention, and many other important issues that impact patient care.
Once candidates are endorsed, members are encouraged to support those candidates by not only voting for them, but actively working for them. MNA offers a variety of ways nurses can get involved in supporting candidates, including phone banks, text banking, and door knocking.
