Vote “YES” for the environment

Over 30 years ago, Minnesotans voted to dedicate a portion of state lottery proceeds to conservation. Since then, it’s provided over $1 billion for our Great Outdoors. Whether you like hiking along Lake Superior, birding, fishing, or simply enjoying nature in your neighborhood, love for the Great Outdoors is something we all share. Helping preserve what makes Minnesota special is the backbone of the lottery funding—and renewing this critical and impactful funding source is an opportunity that Minnesota can’t afford to miss. On the November ballot, a question to renew this funding will be on the front of every Minnesotan’s ballot. To ensure this critical funding source remains dedicated for the Great Outdoors, over 50% of voters must vote YES. Leaving the question blank counts as a NO vote. If it doesn’t pass, the constitutional protection for this important conservation funding will expire.
