The Minnesota legislative session is approaching quickly, and for associations, nonprofits, and advocacy organizations, now is the time to prepare. With major political developments unfolding across the state and increased attention on policymaking at the Capitol, a well-planned Minnesota Day on the Hill is one of the most effective ways to connect members directly with lawmakers and advance your priorities. But without a clear strategy, these days can quickly become overwhelming and underutilized.
For many associations, non-profits, and government affairs professionals helping their clients navigate the Capitol, Days on the Hill are an important way to get members and supporters meaningful time in front of Minnesota lawmakers.
It’s a way to connect real people and voices to the issues that matter most. But it can also be a daunting task for many small organizations with so many competing priorities on their time!
Whether it’s refining your messaging and collateral, setting up meetings for members with their elected officials, demystifying the process so your members feel confident at the Capitol, or taking advantage of your Day on the Hill to plan a complementary press conference – that’s where K2 can help.
Our team has the expertise and know-how to make your Day on the Hill a success and customize a plan that works well for you. You can check out our full services for Day on the Hill planning here.

From letters to offices, to engaging with reporters, to opinion editorials, and so much more, a comprehensive advocacy plan can mean the difference between success and failure at the legislature.
2026 is off to a wild start, but we’re here to make it easier and help you find success this legislative session.
Cheers to a new year!
