define candidate. Section 10A.01 does. It defines candidate as “an individual who seeks nomination or election as a state constitutional officer, legislator, or judge.” Minn. Stat. § 10A.01 subdiv. 10. In other words, § 10A.01 expressly defines a candidate as an individual running for state office. The Chamber counters that Minn. Stat. § 211B.01 defines candidate as “an

Legislature amended § 215B.15 to expressly incorporate § 10A.01’s definitions. See 2023 Minnesota Laws Chapter 34, art. 3, sec. 3–6. And § 215B.15 subdivision 4a relies on multiple definitions from § 10A.01, including political committee, Minn. Stat. § 10A.01 subdiv. 27, political fund, id. subdiv. 28, political party unit, id. subdiv. 30, ballot question, id. subdiv. 7, contribution, id. subdiv. 11, and expenditure, id. subdiv. 9. None of those terms are defined by § 211B.01 or § 211B.15 subdivision 1. It is not plausible that the Minnesota Legislature incorporated all of those terms expressly limited to state elections

Day v. Hayes · 1994 4 citations

Minn. Stat. § 10A.01 Subd. 10b (Supp.1993).

MCCL further contends that Subdivision 2 unconstitutionally restricts the right of individuals to participate in the political process. By its terms, the statute applies only to corporations, not to the conduct of individuals. See Minn. Stat. § 211B.15 subd. 2. “[Services provided without compensation by an individual volunteering personal time on behalf of a candidate, ballot question, political committee or political fund” are expressly excluded from the distinct statutes governing individual political contributions. See Minn. Stat. §§ 10A.01, subd. 7 & 10A.27, subd. 1. Subdivision 2 does not apply to individuals and does not limit their First Amendment rights.
