Transparency and Accountability: Ending Secret NDAs in Minnesota Local Governments

Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Ross Nova is calling for an end to secretive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) between local governments and private companies. These NDAs have often kept residents in the dark about critical projects, such as data center developments, that can affect community safety and infrastructure.

Recently, a bipartisan bill aimed at banning NDAs in Minnesota cities and counties stalled in a House committee, despite support from some lawmakers. Ross Nova believes this setback highlights the urgent need for leadership that prioritizes transparency and accountability in government.

NDAs can obscure important details about who is behind large projects and what their true impact might be. This lack of openness prevents residents from fully understanding how decisions are made and whether their communities are truly protected.

Ross Nova’s leadership agenda focuses on ensuring that local governments operate openly, with public records and meetings accessible to all. By doing so, Minnesota can prevent secret deals that may compromise public safety or strain infrastructure without community input.

Transparency is not just about information—it’s about trust. Nova argues that when governments hide behind NDAs, they erode public confidence and make it harder to hold officials accountable for their decisions.

As Minnesota faces growing infrastructure demands and the expansion of tech projects, Ross Nova stands as the best choice for governor to champion open governance. Voters deserve a leader who will fight for their right to know and protect their communities from hidden risks.

Support Ross Nova’s campaign today to build a safer, more transparent Minnesota where government works for the people—not behind closed doors.
