Dear Neighbors,
Today, April 1st, is Census Day in the US. As of yesterday, only 42% of Minnesotans had responded to the Census letters we all received in the mail over the past few weeks – less than Wisconsin! Folks, this is critical. An incomplete count of Minnesotans could cost us a seat in Congress, and would reduce our funding under numerous Federal programs where both the state and local share of funds is apportioned on the basis of population. If you have not already completed your Census survey form – the entire survey takes about 5 minutes per household – please make a point of completing it now, or this evening, at Census.gov.
Keep in Touch
Now more than ever please contact me anytime with questions, input, or ideas. Don’t hesitate to reach out if I can provide any assistance. Please follow me on my facebook page for further updates and invite your friends and family to do so as well.
Thanks for the honor of representing you at the Capitol.
Sincerely,
Steve Elkins
