about the Civic Caucus.
The Civic Caucus is a Minnesota-based,
nonpartisan, public-policy learning
and analysis organization.
Since 2005, the nonpartisan,
nonprofit Civic Caucus has worked to foster in-depth dialog, seeking
informed solutions to a broad range of Minnesota public issues. We
have conducted more than 500 thoughtful interviews of civic and
business leaders, innovators, elected officials, researchers,
academics, and thought leaders from Minnesota and around the nation.
These interviews are all accessible on this website under the
Interviews & Responses tab. Over 20 Civic Caucus position reports
are accessible on this website under the Position Reports tab. In
October 2017, the Civic Caucus began a series of interviews with the
major, announced candidates for Minnesota governor. It also
continues its series on a review of Minnesota�s legislative process.
The Civic Caucus distributes
summaries of its interviews, as well as its occasional reports, free
of charge to over 5,400 civic-minded e-mail readers�including
elected officials and candidates for public office statewide�and to
nearly 300 media outlets statewide.
If you wish to join our e-mail list to
receive interview summaries, please contact Executive Director Janis
Clay at
civiccaucus@comcast.net.
We do not share our e-mail list with anyone.
The interview summaries
and issues pages
are intended to spark a thoughtful dialog,
moving towards education and understanding,
rather than partisan debate.
The position
reports
are recommendations offered by
the Civic Caucus Interview Group,
after holding extensive interviews on a topic and
considering reader
responses
to drafts of the reports.
