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 News and Happenings
December 03, 2025
Greetings, DFL Friends–
Winter is upon us! At this holiday time, we can be very thankful for the string of Progressive victories across our country in November. Here in Minnesota, 94% of Education Minnesota supported candidates won in school board races, while “Parents Alliance”/“Moms for Liberty” candidates won in only 6%. Although one of those was in our district, it did not add a new seat, and our A-H school board remained in a stable tie.
Let’s celebrate our good work this year by getting together next week for our Potluck! See details below.
And then— Caucuses are just around the corner— on February 3. So keep you eyes open for more info.
Let’s keep on doing everything we can to Keep America Alive and return our country from the hands of the corrupt administration now in charge in Washington!
District Happenings 2025-2026
Caucus Night 2026: Tuesday, February 3
This will be a critical year for progressives, and the political year, and all of its fun and work, will begin for us on Caucus night. This will be the first major opportunity of the year to learn more about the DFL, and start the process of getting involved— to help us protect what the DFL has accomplished and to begin working for the Post-Trump era.
Meet local and statewide candidates… submit resolutions to add to the State DFL platform… volunteer for activities in your own neighborhood (precinct, in political terms :)). And sign up to be a delegate to the SD31 Convention, leading to the State DFL convention in the summer.
Our SD31 will have 3 Sites: one in Ramsey, one in Andover, and one combined meeting for Oak Grove, East Bethel, Ham Lake, Linwood, and Athens Township. Stay tuned for specific addresses in our January edition.

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)
