Sen. Zach Duckworth, a Republican from Lakeville, recently organized a gathering with bipartisan legislators in St. Paul as part of the Civility Caucus. The group believes that personal relationships are essential for achieving common goals in politics. Duckworth highlighted how the caucus helped pass a bipartisan bill in the previous session.
This session, the Civility Caucus faces challenges due to partisan conflicts and upcoming special elections that could divide the House. Members like Sen. Grant Hauschild, a Democrat from Hermantown, emphasize the importance of finding middle ground in swing districts like his.
The Civility Caucus, led by both Democrats and Republicans in each chamber, aims to promote understanding and collaboration across party lines. Rep. Sandra Feist, a Democrat from New Brighton, stressed the significance of civility in policymaking and building rapport with colleagues who may have different views.
The group’s efforts focus on fostering constructive dialogue and relationship-building to overcome political polarization and promote effective governance. Despite facing obstacles, the Civility Caucus remains committed to bridging divides and finding common ground in Minnesota politics.
