Vote YES for more funding for
Minnesota’s Public Schools
This November, your ballot will ask if Minnesota should modernize its Constitution to get more funding to public schools – at zero cost to taxpayers….
Learn More about Parents for Good and Their Efforts to Get Funding for Minnesota’s Public Schools
Families across Minnesota are hurting. Businesses are closing. Communities are suffering. Parents for Good is raising money to distribute to impacted families. Donations will provide for basic needs, and if we raise enough, we plan to donate to community-funded rental need.
Never underestimate the value of a volunteer!
This volunteer grape tomato seed sprouted and grew from a crack in the cement patio belonging to one of our members, Betty. Thanks to our leader Leslie who certainly appreciates gardens and volunteers. This volunteer has outgrown its fellow tomatoes planted in pots.
First Priority!

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.
