ABOUT US

DFL Senate District 31 represents a unique blend of rural and suburban communities with unique challenges. We are everyday citizens of this district who are motivated by Minnesota community values and principles.

We work to help bring about change, to make our communities better places to live for our kids, our neighbors and ourselves.

Our first job is to build a group who will find, support, and elect candidates who promote our values.

Senate District 31 DFL was formed early in 2022 after the 2020 Census redistricting. We engage in a range of social and planning meetings, fundraising events, communication and education efforts, and service activities.

Greetings DFL Friends—Thank you for the wonderful turnout on Caucus night last Tuesday!  Across our 3 sites we had close to 300 participants.  We are still working with all the data sheets, but it appears that 1/4 to 1/3 of these are new people!Now we need to keep the energy flowing!  This is a reminder that we are nearing our regular monthly meeting, this coming Tuesday.  With the tight schedule we don’t have time for an agenda with formal voting, but it will be a good chance to get together and just share about what is happening and next steps. We can hear from our officers and welcome the newly elected officers and committee members.

*** IF YOU ARE NEW  to our meetings— we are very informal at all times, and especially so from 6:00 to 6:30 pm when the “official” meeting starts.  So please join us and get better acquainted!

Tuesday, February 10:  SD31 DFL Monthly Social and Business MeetingTime: (5:45 or so to order food); 6:00pm for social gathering; 6:30pm Call to Order

Location: Davanni’s Coon Rapids, 3430 129th Ave NW

**See you there!**

Also On Tuesday, Feb 10: RAMSEY CALL TO ACTION— Help Stop ICE

Time: 7 pm

Ramsey residents, please come to the City Council meeting on Tuesday, February 10th, at 7pm.  Place: Ramsey City Hall.

There is a need for as many people as possible to be there when we ask the City Council and the Chief of Police to make a formal statement regarding ICE in Ramsey.  Reportedly, they have not done so yet because no one has asked them to.  So Let’s be there to  Ask!
