The Minnesota Democratic Party, also known as the Minnesota DFL (Democratic-Farmer-Labor) Party, is a political organization in Minnesota that represents the Democratic ideology. Founded in 1944, it combines the principles of the Democratic Party with those of the Farmer-Labor Party, which was prominent in the early 20th century. The party focuses on issues such as social justice, healthcare, education, and environmental protection. The Minnesota DFL plays a significant role in state and local elections, working to elect candidates to various offices, including the Minnesota State Legislature and the U.S. Congress. The party also engages in grassroots organizing and advocacy to promote its platform and mobilize voters across the state.
