For Candidates Seeking Endorsement
If you or someone you know is running for state or local office in Minnesota, please contact pace.naswmn@socialworkers.org to receive a questionnaire. Candidates complete our questionnaire, then their responses are assessed by our PACE committee for endorsement. Candidates who NASW-MN PACE believes are sufficiently in line with social work values and legislative priorities may earn our endorsement. Endorsed candidates will have their names and campaign information shared in our member newsletter and on our website, and may also be eligible for financial contributions to their campaign from NASW-MN PACE.
