Upcoming DFL Events

Special Ask: We’ll be facing increased hours of darkness after Saturday night, and that can be dangerous to volunteers doing evening door knocking. If you have a bright camping or power outage lantern you’d be wiling to lend to help light the way for people knocking doors in the dark streets in the Maple Grove area, please call Karen at 612-270-6559. She’ll find a way to pick them up and get them back to you after Election Day
