Center of the American Experiment is Minnesota’s leading public policy organization. We are more than a think tank. We not only research and produce papers on Minnesota’s economy, education, health care, the family, employee freedom and state and local governance, we also craft and propose creative solutions that emphasize free enterprise, limited government, personal responsibility and government accountability. American Experiment’s staff advances those solutions by drafting legislation, testifying before legislative committees, placing op-eds in newspapers and magazines across the State of Minnesota and nationally, appearing on radio and television news programs, holding town meetings, and lobbying. American Experiment also conducts grassroots advertising campaigns on radio and on the internet, which brings the key findings of American Experiment’s research papers to millions of Minnesotans. And American Experiment carries out investigative reporting, uncovering waste, abuse of power and ineptitude in Minnesota’s state and local governments, schools and unions. For more than 30 years, Center of the American Experiment has been the most impactful and effective public policy organization in Minnesota. We lead the way in creating and advocating policies that make Minnesota a freer, more prosperous and better-governed state.
