Who is LeadingAge Minnesota?

LeadingAge Minnesota is the state’s largest association of organizations serving older adults. Together with more than 50,000 caregivers, LeadingAge Minnesota members serve 63,000 older adults in the places they call home from home and community-based services, senior housing and assisted living communities to skilled nursing facilities. LeadingAge Minnesota works to shape the future of aging services and ensure older adults live with dignity, meaning and purpose. One way to accomplish this goal is working with lawmakers at the state level.

What is LeadingAge Minnesota’s PAC?

The LeadingAge Minnesota Political Action Committee (PAC) (formerly Aging Services PAC) supports lawmakers dedicated to preserving a high quality of life for Minnesota seniors and supporting services and caregivers to meet the evolving needs of our state’s aging population. LeadingAge Minnesota’s PAC does not distinguish its support on the basis of political party.

Why Donate to LeadingAge Minnesota’s PAC?

There are three ways to advocate on behalf of seniors, caregivers and older adult services at the state level: direct lobbying, grassroots and donations. LeadingAge Minnesota has a team of lobbyists that meet directly with lawmakers to help shape public policy affecting older adults and those who provide them with care. Additionally, LeadingAge Minnesota has a grassroots network that allows citizens to easily connect with their lawmakers about the need to take care of older adults and support those who provide them with quality care. Finally, through donations, LeadingAge Minnesota’s PAC is able to directly impact the political atmosphere at the State Capitol and give a strong voice to issues that serve the needs of Minnesota’s growing senior population. It takes all three ways to be successful at the Capitol.

How does LeadingAge Minnesota’s PAC Make Decisions?

LeadingAge Minnesota’s PAC is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of its members from around the state who serve older adults in a variety of settings. Contributions and endorsements are determined based on a lawmaker’s position on issues that are critical to ensuring safe and quality care from experienced caregivers that seniors deserve and their families expect.
