Update on MinnesotaCare

Ward 9 Updates from Council Member Jason Chavez

A message from Council Member Chavez

Dear neighbor,

I am writing this email today to notify you that the State Legislative Session is scheduled to end on May 19, 2025. 

In 2023, the State Legislature expanded access to MinnesotaCare for undocumented immigrants. Unfortunately, there are real conversations about ending this program for undocumented immigrants, which will have a negative life impact on many of our neighbors. 

At a time when the federal government is demonizing our immigrant community, the state should be doing everything it can to protect our most vulnerable. Removing people from accessing healthcare is bad policy.

Here is the information of decision makers you can call to express your opinions and to support your neighbors:

  • Governor Tim Walz: 651-201-3400
  • Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy: 651-296-5931
  • House Speaker Lisa Demuth: 651-296-4373
  • Your MN State Elected Officials: find them here.

Sincerely,

Jason Chavez
