We are local residents working together to promote progressive values, advocate equality for all people, and create strong communities through service, education, and empowerment.
We are the Big Tent Party. We encourage a broad spectrum of views among our members. We embrace our diversity--gender, age, occupation, social-economic status, sexual orientation, labor unions, and farm organizations. We believe (as a group) that we are not monolithic, and we do not take any vote for granted. We are focused on knowing our neighbors, and we believe SD47 plays a vital role in our community.
What laws do we want to pass? We approve our 6-page Party Platform by 60% vote at our Convention. The headings are the MN Legislature committees that hear bills on that topic. This is our 2022 Platform:

The Senate District 47 Executive Committee has 5 party officers, 12 Directors and several Delegates (to state and regional groups). When we include the 19 Precinct Chairs + the Executive Committee, together we are the SD47 Central Committee.
Our Central Committee meets monthly on the 3rd Thursday at 6:30pm - 8pm. (No meeting in December.)
Precinct Chairs get elected in February for 2-year terms on Caucus Night to form the Central Committee.
The Executive Committee get elected after March for 2-year terms at the SD47 Endorsing Convention.
We care about issues that directly impact us and family members, so it's important to be an Informed Voter on local issues. Each voting neighborhood is called a "precinct". We can talk with neighbors and organize events, in the role of "Precinct Chair".
Each precinct in SD47 can host grassroots effort to register voters, meet Candidates, discuss key issues and get voters to cast a ballot in every election.

2 • Canvassing precinct residents to identify and keep record of likely DFL voters.
