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.

SD31 DFL This Week
NO KINGS, NO TYRANTS, NO DICTATORS
… SO VOTE SOON!
October 22, 2025
Greetings, DFL Friends–
Maybe we are seeing a turning point! Between 7 and 12 million people got out on Saturday October 18 to protest the lawlessness of the current regime. That included many, many of us from SD31 in the Anoka protest and in downtown Minneapolis. Estimates are that over 100,000 were in the Minneapolis march alone, and thousands more across the state.
Some historians report that when 2% or more of the people get out in the streets, it changes the course of things. That would be 7 million in the US, and in Minnesota, 100,000. So THANKS to all of you who marched in the NO KINGS event on Oct 18, and please keep marching! We can make it happen.
The other best way to support change is to VOTE. Critical school board elections are coming soon (less than 2 weeks away). Find out what district you are in, find your polling place, and vote— vote early or on election day, Tuesday November 4.
Let’s do everything we can to Keep America Alive— the America of the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Gettysburg Address, the America that was proud to be antifascist in World War 2.
CHEERS, BIG WINS,
AND WORK NEEDED
Cheers (Did You Know?)
On October 18th, many members came to our Saturday Coffee Meet at Starbucks to pick up packets with mailing materials. These have been sent out to many residents within Senate District 31 in advance of the November 4th School Board election. Find out more about the election and our candidates elsewhere on this home page. We wish the best luck and well-deserved success to each one of them.
Work Needed – How Long Can the Republican House Speaker Refuse to Swear In the New Democratic Congresswoman?
Meidas+ reports: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. House of Representatives over Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat a duly elected member of Congress, Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. Although Speaker Johnson has also sent Congress home, in truth Congress should be in session now, and Grijalva has plenty to do for her (cont. at the link)
