Help Get Cameras Rolling in MN - Cue Governor Walz to ACT

WE ARE CLOSE TO GETTING A FILM PRODUCTION TAX CREDIT IN MINNESOTA.

We have made great progress with the Film Production Tax Credit in the Minnesota House and Senate! Negotiations have been going on prior to the upcoming special session BUT there is still work to be done with the Governor’s office. Governor Walz NEEDS TO BE CONVINCED that bringing film and TV production to Minnesota is good for the state.

We need people to immediately email these individuals in the Waltz administration and ask that the Governor support and sign off on inclusion of the Film Production Tax Credit in the Omnibus Tax Bill.

Please email:
Chris Schmitter, Chief of Staff to Governor Walz
Chris.schmitter@state.mn.us
(He, him, his)

Hue Nguyen, Legislative Director to Governor Walz
Hue.Nguyen@state.mn.us
(She, her, hers)

Steve Grove, Commissioner of the Department of Employment and Economic Development (the agency
that would administer the incentive program)
Steve.grove@state.mn.us
(He, him, his)

What to include:

1. Your Name
2. Your profession and why this bill matters to you (make it personal)
3. Ask that the Governor please support and sign off on inclusion of the Film Production Tax Credit provision in the Omnibus Tax Bill
4. Stress this is a Jobs and Economic Development bill for all Minnesotans
5. Other talking points can be found here. Pick one that stands out to you and personalize it with your perspective.
6. Be brief

Please reach out to these folks IMMEDIATELY.

Thank you!
