Advancing Equity in Historic Preservation: OUR COMMITMENT
Rethos Candidate Survey
Rethos: Places Reimagined invites candidates for the Minnesota Legislature to complete a questionnaire on building rehabilitation, the Main Streets program, and other issues of interest to our members and followers. The questionnaire is nonpartisan, and it is not meant to serve as an endorsement of or for any particular candidate or political party.
The preservation of our built environment typically has been a bipartisan issue. Thousands of voters across Minnesota recognize their communities’ unique assets – both tangible and intangible. Through their acts of stewardship, and by reclaiming and revitalizing valued places, they are growing their local economies, sustaining their ways of life, lowering their carbon impat, and preserving the character of their communities.

We need to assist small businesses in their recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. I am hopeful federal funding will be available for the recovery process. Providing assistance to small business owners will grow the economy and put people back to work.
