2010 Caucuses are coming soon

Scroll down for locations.

2010 brings another critical election for the future of our state and our country. DFLers will need to come together to elect a DFL governor for the first time since the 1980s—and we need you to get that done. Please mark your calendars for these critical dates in the DFL endorsing process.

Tuesday, February 2: DFL precinct caucuses across Minneapolis and Minnesota (elect delegates to senate district, county, and city conventions; pass resolutions for inclusion on DFL Platform and Action Agenda).
Saturday, February 27: SD60 DFL convention, Washburn High School (endorse state House and Senate candidates, elect delegates to the State and Congressional District DFL conventions)
Saturday, March 27: CD 5 convention, location TBA (endorse our U.S. House representative)
Friday-Sunday, April 23-25: State DFL convention, Duluth (endorse candidates for Governor, Secretary of State, etc.; vote on Platform; and other business)

Why attend a caucus:

  1. It's the first step for people who want to be delegates at endorsing conventions
  2. You have the opportunity to present issue resolutions that may be added to the DFL Platform
  3. You can vote in the Governor straw poll
  4. You might want to run for a local DFL office, such as precinct chair, or join a committee to plan a DFL convention
  5. It's a great way to meet like-minded neighbors

In 2010 we will be endorsing candidates for the following offices: Governor, Congress, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State Auditor, State Senator, State Representatives, Hennepin County Attorney, Hennepin County Sheriff, Hennepin County Commissioners
