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.
