Electing pro-business candidates in 2020

The Minnesota Chamber operates two political programs:

The Minnesota Chamber Leadership Fund, a political action committee that endorses and provides direct support to candidates; and Pro Jobs Majority (PJM), an affiliated 527 independent expenditure (IE) committee that operates independently of candidates and candidate campaigns as required by state and federal law.

Both programs focus on electing pro-jobs, pro-business candidates who support policies to improve Minnesota's economic competitiveness for employers and their employees. Both programs are highly-regarded as a force in Minnesota’s legislative elections.
