Meet the House at the Great Minnesota Get-Together

You can find the Minnesota House booth inside the Education Building during this year's Minnesota State Fair Aug. 21-Sept. 1. (House Photography file photo)

Fairgoers are invited to weigh in on hot political topics and meet with legislators during their visit to the House of Representatives’ booth at the 2025 Minnesota State Fair.

Located in the Education Building, the booth highlight is the informal, unscientific House opinion poll. Nearly 8,000 votes were cast last year.

This year, fairgoers can let their opinions be known on a dozen issues, including:

  • school starting before Labor Day;
  • undocumented immigrants accessing state programs;
  • firearms in the State Capitol;
  • a projected state budget deficit;
  • free fishing licenses; and
  • higher taxes for the wealthiest Minnesotans.
