Meet the House at the Great Minnesota Get-Together

Fairgoers are invited to weigh in on hot political topics and meet with legislators during their visit to the House of Representatives’ booth at the 2025 Minnesota State Fair.

Located in the Education Building, the booth highlight is the informal, unscientific House opinion poll. Nearly 8,000 votes were cast last year.

This year, fairgoers can let their opinions be known on a dozen issues, including:

• school starting before Labor Day;
• undocumented immigrants accessing state programs;
• firearms in the State Capitol;
• a projected state budget deficit;
• free fishing licenses; and
• higher taxes for the wealthiest Minnesotans.

Results are scheduled to be on the House website (www.house.mn.gov) Sept. 2, the day after the fair closes.

Folks can also talk to members, stand behind a replica of the House Speaker’s desk for a photo opportunity, pick up information about the Legislature and don the always-popular Capitol Dome hat.
