Results of the MCD Legislative Survey

October 19, 2022

MCD Legislative Survey. Minnesota Council on Disability.Over the past two months the Minnesota Council on Disability (MCD) surveyed members of the disability community to learn more about the issues that are important to them.

We received 286 responses. Thank you to everyone who took part. The survey asked participants to:

  • select the issues MCD should work on in the 2023 legislative session.
  • tell us how these issues affected them as members of the disability community.
