Senate District 51 DFL

Actions & events happening soon

Feb. 3, 2026, our 2026 precinct caucuses, step 1 in voting early & often. Plan for Tuesday, February 3 at 7pm. There will be 2 locations.
- SD51A (Richfield & Minneapolis): Richfield Middle School, 7461 Oliver Ave S, Richfield, MN 55423
- SD51B (Bloomington): Kennedy High School, 9701 Nicollet Ave. S. Bloomington, MN 55420

- Plan ahead for the SD51 District DFL convention on Sat., April 11th, at Kennedy High School. Our wonderful current Senator Melissa Wiklund is not running again, so we’ll be voting on a new Democrat to endorse. She hasn’t announced for Governor, but you can ask. We’ll be electing endorsing-state-delegates and voting on additions to our platform too.
Never use Elon Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) again. That doesn't mean delete your profile; keep it as a free public billboard (although you should remove the app if it's installed and make sure you still have your password so you can login and notify followers how to keep following you).

Sadly, every day now, keep your eyes, cameras, and smartphones out for ICE. Remember, they are not police, the Minnesota National Guard, Hennepin County Sheriffs, or State Troopers. You can and should call 911 if you see them and report them as fake police disguising themselves and looking to damage or loot properties, or worse. Our DFL Hennepin Attorney Mary Moriarty also welcomes and responds to reports.

Your Neighbors. Your DFL.

Welcome to the most grass-roots, local level of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party in Minnesota. Including significant portions of Richfield and Bloomington, the members of Senate District 51 (SD51) bring progressive change to the local, state, and national levels.
