Our Streets Minneapolis distributed a questionnaire to candidates running to fill the vacant Minneapolis City Council Ward 6 seat in the upcoming special election on August 11th.  The candidate questionnaire contained questions related to our mission and advocacy goals.

We accessed candidate contact information on July 21st from the City of Minneapolis Candidate Filing 2020 website. An Our Streets Minneapolis staff member sent all declared candidates the questionnaire via email. We asked candidates to limit their response to each question to 150 words.
