"Minnesota's Commitment to Families Pays Off

For the third year in a row, Minnesota has been recognized as one of the top states to have a baby, and it's no surprise. Our state has made a concerted effort to prioritize the needs of families, and it's yielding remarkable results. By expanding paid leave, investing in quality child care, and delivering a nation-leading child tax credit, we're providing the support families need to thrive. Additionally, our commitment to strengthening public schools ensures that our children receive a top-notch education. At the heart of our initiatives is a simple yet powerful principle: families come first. And it's a philosophy that's making all the difference for Minnesota's families."
