Event Details
Overview
Save the date for Fredrikson's annual Minnesota Legislative Session Outlook event! Minnesota's political landscape is poised for another significant shift in 2027, with Democrats preparing to regain a trifecta of control of state government under a new governor. This follows two years of divided government, with an evenly split House and a one-vote DFL majority in the Senate.
But unified control doesn't necessarily mean an easier path forward. The 2027 session will be a budget year, and unlike the last time Democrats held a trifecta in 2023, legislators won't have an $18 billion surplus to fund their priorities. Instead, they will face a projected structural deficit, economic uncertainty and difficult decisions about the state's fiscal future.
What will the new governor and DFL majorities prioritize? How will they navigate a challenging budget environment while delivering on campaign promises? And what will the return to unified government mean for Minnesota businesses, organizations and taxpayers?
Join us on Tuesday, December 15 from 9-10 a.m. for a virtual panel moderated by Dr. Nisha Botchwey, Dean of the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Leaders from all four caucuses will offer insights into the legislative priorities and dynamics that will define the 2027 session.
