If
you've never known, DFL stands for Democratic-Farmer-Laborer.
We are the party of the people, with a long, proud tradition
in Minnesota. It was the people-first policies, enacted by
DFL leadership (along with progressive Republicans), that
propelled Minnesota to the top rank of US states in economic,
health, education, and social justice measurements. |
