Electing Champions for our Community
Stonewall DFL works for a safe and equitable Minnesota by endorsing and electing LGBTQ and allied candidates for public office in and in the Minnesota DFL Party. Our endorsements are important to many Minnesotans who seek our advice choosing candidates that will champion issues impacting the LGBTQ community.
Outreach & Inclusion is Our Mission
Stonewall DFL represents the DFL in the LGBTQ community and represents the LGBTQ community in the DFL.
As the official LGBTQ outreach arm of the DFL, we participate in Pride and other events in every corner of the state – educating and registering voters, promoting our endorsed candidates, and creating a pipeline for LGBTQ people to get involved in the DFL Party.
We remind the Party of – and help it fulfill – its obligations of outreach and inclusion for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people.

We couldn’t be prouder of our Hometown Hero: Suni Lee! @sunisalee_ ‘s team took Silver and she won Gold for the all-around competition in Tokyo. Suni is the 1st Hmong-American to make the Olympic Team.
@mprnews reports “Suni's parents, John Lee and Yeev Thoj, were children when they and their families fled Laos and made the dangerous journey to refugee camps in Thailand. Their families eventually settled in Minnesota and found a home among thousands of other Hmong who'd come to the U.S. via a similar path.
"The Hmong here are very proud to be American,'' Sia Lo, a St. Paul attorney and a member of Lee's extended family told the Star Tribune. "We hope all of America is proud of Suni. What she's achieved showcases what is possible here in the United States.''
Suni and her family are shining examples that immigrants greatly enrich our communities! ❤️
