Minnesota House DFL Announces Highest Cash on Hand Ever at Current Stage of Campaign

ST. PAUL, MN - The Minnesota House DFL announced today fundraising numbers surpassing every previous election year’s internal second quarter cash on hand amounts. The campaign ended the second quarter with $569,554.67 raised and $1,126,711.45 cash on hand. This is the highest cash on hand held by the House DFL at this stage of a campaign.

“The COVID-19 pandemic and the senseless murder of George Floyd sharply brought into focus the inequities and disparities that were present in our state all along,” said Melissa Hortman, Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives. “Today, in the middle of a global pandemic, a special session of a divided legislature, and nation-wide civil unrest against systemic racism, the need to hold and expand the House DFL majority has never been more important. We are working to build a better future for all Minnesotans — no exceptions.”

“The House DFL, led by the People of Color and Indigenous Caucus, are working diligently to pass public safety reform, but the Republican-led Minnesota Senate would rather pack up their bags and go home,” said Ryan Winkler, Majority Leader of the Minnesota House. “We are committed to creating deep and lasting change and safeguarding Minnesotans’ lives, health, and economic well-being — but we need to protect our House DFL majority in order to continue this work.”
