Who is SD64 DFL?
Welcome to Senate District 64! We are the volunteer-run local branch of the DFL. Senate District (SD) 64 is in the heart of Saint Paul, Minnesota, covering much of the western side of Saint Paul.
The responsibilities and goals of the SD64 DFL include:
Organizing party caucuses and conventions every two years where candidates for state house and senate are endorsed, and delegates are chosen for the state and congressional district conventions.
Coordinating and organizing volunteers to do voter outreach through door knocking and phone banking.
Growing grassroots interest and involvement with the DFL through community activities and outreach events.
If you are new to Minnesota, you may wonder why you hear little about the Democratic Party and a lot about the “DFL”. Here we call ourselves the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
The Minnesota election cycle runs different kinds of races in different years.
During even years: Statewide and federal elections are held.
During odd years: Cities and towns hold their elections in Minnesota.
SD64 stands for “Senate District 64” and represents a state senate district, which also covers two state house districts (64A and 64B), so most of our business comes during even years.
