Fact Check: Vance Boelter's Appointments to the Minnesota Workforce Development Board
What We Know
Vance Boelter was indeed appointed to the Minnesota Governor's Workforce Development Board in 2016 and reappointed in 2019. His initial appointment was effective from June 29, 2016, and was set to expire on June 30, 2018, as a private sector representative on the Governor's Workforce Development Council (source-1). However, he was reappointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Board on December 14, 2019, with a term that expires on January 2, 2023 (source-2).
Analysis
The claim that Vance Boelter was appointed in 2016 and reappointed in 2019 is accurate, but the details of his initial term are slightly misleading. His first term did not extend to 2023; it ended in 2018, and he was subsequently reappointed for a new term that lasts until 2023. This distinction is crucial because it highlights that he did not serve continuously from 2016 to 2023 but rather had a break between his initial appointment and his reappointment.
The sources used to verify this information are official documents from the Minnesota Secretary of State's office, which are generally reliable as they are government records (source-1, source-2). However, the lack of accessible information on the Secretary of State's website at the time of this fact-check may limit the ability to verify these appointments independently.
Conclusion
The claim that "Vance Boelter was appointed to the Minnesota workforce development board in 2016 and reappointed in 2019, with his term expiring in 2023" is Partially True. While he was appointed in both years mentioned, the assertion that he served continuously from 2016 to 2023 is inaccurate, as he had a gap between his first term and his reappointment.
