Federal enforcement against corporate misconduct has dropped sharply since 2025, even as corporate profits hit record highs. Minnesota's worker protections like minimum wage indexing, paid leave, wage theft enforcement help, but we need a Federal government that isn’t working against the people’s best interest. https://www.sd14dfl.com/blog/minnesota-rising-health-care-costs monthly 0.5 2026-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66db6d4b445acd1935bf7d1d/456eb46c-8ef9-4159-9ef4-916a27b96811/centracare-health-st-cloud-hospital-saint+cloud-mn-56303-facility-view-696x392.webp Blog - What Minnesota Democrats are doing about rising health care costs - What's driving your bills higher Premiums rose more than 20% this year after a federal tax credit expired.

The ranking reflects consistent strengths across multiple categories: voter participation (#3), poverty reduction (#4), education (#4), social isolation (#4), and employment (#3). Those outcomes connect to policy decisions made by Minnesota's current officeholders — in elections administration, law enforcement, the executive branch, the state legislature, and the U.S. Senate. Minnesota still ranks in the bottom third nationally for youth depression (#43) and greenhouse gas emissions (#38) — areas where the 2026 election will matter. https://www.sd14dfl.com/blog/what-does-a-campaign-volunteer-do-a-practical-guide-to-getting-involved monthly 0.5 2026-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66db6d4b445acd1935bf7d1d/e7559682-817e-4d92-bae5-764aadd2ab90/group-volunteers.jpg Blog - What does a campaign volunteer do?
