Minn. State Fair to host meet and greet with representatives

Published 10:03 am Tuesday, August 23, 2016

Fairgoers are invited to weigh-in on hot political topics and meet with legislators during their visit to the House of Representatives booth at the Minnesota State Fair.

The annual House opinion poll draws the attention of around 10,000 participants and will, once again, be available.

Fairgoers can let their opinions be known on a number of issues including this fall’s ballot question on who should set legislators’ salaries; a requirement for individuals to use restroom and locker room facilities in schools and businesses based on biological sex, as defined at birth; and criminal background checks for all gun purchases at gun sales.

Poll results should be available on the House website Sept. 6, the day after the fair closes.

The House of Representatives exhibit is located in the education building on Cosgrove Street, just north of Dan Patch Avenue.

A list of representatives planning to attend including dates and times of their appearance can be found at www.house.leg.state.mn.us/hinfo/leginfo/16memfair.pdf.
