Around Minnesota
The best ideas come from the people of Minnesota
The work of the Secretary of State's office doesn't just happen at a desk in St. Paul. It happens throughout the state in counties like Clay County, and Cook County, and Cottonwood County.
That's why Secretary Simon travels to all 87 counties every year so he can meet with and listen to Minnesotans, whether that's to hear from local and county officials, high school and college students, small businesses, chambers of commerce, domestic violence advocates, faith and labor organizations, or farmers and manufacturers.
Secretary Simon knows the best ideas come from the people of Minnesota and these conversations are a great way to hear directly from you and learn more about how our office can better improve the lives of all Minnesotans. Select a county below to see below what Secretary Simon has been up to in your area.
