2017 candidates answer questions on energy in Minneapolis

In early 2017, we gave all Minneapolis city council and mayoral candidates a questionnaire about our local energy future. We hope that the discussion here elevates the incredible influence energy [and the decisions made about it in these crucial next years] has on housing stability, cost of living, community wealth, economic opportunity, health, and climate resilience.

**Community Power does not endorse candidates and publishes questionnaires to educate the public on the energy vision & plans of all candidates for any given city race**

PARK BOARD SUBMISSIONS

 While all known candidates for Park Board have been invited, we will only list the names of candidates who have submitted answers due to the volume of candidates for those races, and that these questionnaires largely apply to city & mayoral decision-making levels.
