Occupation & Background: Father, educator, attorney, election-policy expert, and small-business owner from Hanover, Minnesota. Chapin has nearly 40 years of experience in elections, government, law, and public service. He worked as elections counsel to Democrats on the U.S. Senate Rules Committee, practiced election and ethics law, led election initiatives at The Pew Charitable Trusts, and taught at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs. He and his partner own Sweater Vest Strategies, a Minnesota policy research and advocacy firm. Age: Chapin’s exact age is not prominently published in his campaign biography or other reliable public sources I found. Accomplishments: Founded electionline.org, a national nonpartisan source for election-policy information. Spent more than a decade leading election initiatives at The Pew Charitable Trusts and helped advance military and overseas voting reforms. At the Humphrey School, he created what his campaign describes as the nation’s first online undergraduate and graduate certificate program in Election Administration. He received the DFL endorsement for Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District in April 2026. Economic Justice: Supports good-paying jobs, livable wages, fair taxes, and open markets. Wants to repeal tax cuts benefiting billionaires and shift tax policy toward working families. Supports removing the income cap on Social Security payroll taxes so higher earners contribute on more of their income. Climate: Supports stronger federal action on climate change and transitioning away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy. Supports returning the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement and opposes efforts to remove environmental protections from the Boundary Waters. Healthcare: Supports expanding access to affordable healthcare through options such as Medicare for All or a public option. Wants to reverse cuts to Medicare and Medicaid and ensure the programs are adequately funded. Also supports restoring federal investment in medical and scientific research. Housing: Housing is not currently one of the major policy areas specifically detailed on Chapin’s campaign issues page. His economic platform focuses more broadly on livable wages, fair taxation, healthcare affordability, and reducing financial pressures on working families. For a neutral voter guide, I would list housing as not specifically detailed by the campaign rather than infer a position. Criminal Justice / Policing: Chapin supports lawful gun ownership for hunting and personal protection while favoring restrictions on assault-style weapons. His campaign also emphasizes constitutional government and congressional oversight of executive power. A broader policing or criminal-justice platform is not currently detailed on his campaign issues page. Immigration: Supports comprehensive immigration reform with clearer rules and a straightforward pathway to citizenship. Wants to reduce the time, cost, and administrative barriers associated with legal immigration. He also strongly opposes current ICE enforcement practices and supports restructuring or dismantling ICE.
