Minneapolis City Council Endorsement 2017: Jeremiah Ellison, Ward 5

Image
The election (mayor and city council) is November 7th, 2017! See all Echo Base endorsements Register to vote in Minneapolis What ward do I live in? Vote early! To talk about Jeremiah Ellison, currently running for Minneapolis city council in Ward 5 , it makes sense to quote from an eloquent endorsement by Neighborhoods Organizing For Change (no affiliation to this blog): "For more than a decade, the city council members of north Minneapolis have talked about our community and our neighborhoods as though the constituents themselves are the source of our deep rooted structural problems. Jeremiah draws on our community’s strengths. He knows that we have a strong community vitality and a bond that many people don’t see.

The Constitution requires the United States to conduct a census every decade. And so, in 2020, we'll do our 24th national headcount. The United States Census Bureau, an office under the Department of Commerce, oversees the project. The census is much more than a headcount. It is the most influential data the government gathers. The numbers determine how many members of the U.S. House of Representatives each state is allotted and how congressional districts are drawn within states.
