Issue Position: Improve Quality of Life for People with Disabilities

Issue Position

More than 500,000 Minnesotans live with a disability, yet too often they are left behind in our political process. We must include people with disabilities in the decisions that impact their lives and work together for change that will improve the quality of life for Minnesotans with disabilities.

Address our workforce shortage of home and health care workers for Minnesotans with disabilities by increasing funding to increase pay for those that provide vital care for our loved ones

Provide greater economic security to people with disabilities and their families through better access to good-paying jobs, transportation, and housing and preserve vital funding for disability services.

Fully fund special education and provide greater support to teacher and paraprofessionals that help improve the lives of children with disabilities
