Every month, the Board convenes to discuss our progress and vision for the future.

Senate District 56 strives to make the area we live in a better place. More specifically, we have identified the following six points as being paramount tasks for our organization:

• Strong public schools
• A safe, clean environment
• Vital, healthy communities

• Infrastructure that serves a growing population

What can I do to help?

There are numerous ways in which you can join Senate District 56 and begin making a difference in your community. Volunteering with Senate District 56 is a great way to help the DFL in your local area. Participate in our monthly meetings by attending and telling us how you want to change your neighborhood. Most importantly, ensure the security of our future by making sure that you vote each and every time the State of Minnesota asks you to. Without your contributions at the polls, it will make everyone’s tasks a lot more difficult moving forward.
