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.
A Community Caucus of the Minnesota DFL
Stonewall DFL is a community caucus of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. As a membership-based organization, members vote to elect our officers, endorse candidates, and shape the future of our movement. Founded in 1980, we were the first constituency caucus of the DFL and we continue to be a powerful channel to impact the DFL Party.
Advocating for LGBTQ Equity
Our organization sits at the nexus of Democratic elected officials and the LGBTQ community. By developing deep relationships with candidates and officeholders, we shape the public conversation and hold officials accountable to an inclusive, intersectional vision for LGBTQ equity.
Vote in the primary election on Tuesday, August 14
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.
Social Media
Stonewall DFL supports the DFL Feminist Caucus' call for Congressman Nolan to step down from his bid for Lieutenant Governor.
We further call for Attorney General Lori Swanson, as a gubernatorial candidate, to show the kind of leadership we expect from a DFL governor. We expect her to hold her running mate accountable, and to set a positive example for the kind of behavior DFLers will and won't accept, within our campaigns and in governance.
We demand accountability for our leaders on sexual harassment and workplace protections. Sexual harrassment and abuse should not be tolerated within the DFL or within government, especially as we see the Minnesota GOP legislative leadership drag their feet on accountability and creating a safer working environment at the capitol.
As an LGBTQ+ community, we can empathize with the hard decision about whether to be publicly truthful when doing so can result in harm to us. As such, we support the women who have chosen to stand in their truths and not be silent.

Friend,
I wanted you to be one of the first to know: On July 11, I am hosting a fundraiser for the Minnesota DFL to celebrate LGBTQ leadership in our party. The DFL has already endorsed two statewide candidates and another candidate for the U.S. Congress from the LGBTQ community, meaning we have never had a better opportunity than 2018 to advance the cause of LGBTQ leadership in Minnesota.
Let me explain why investing in the party's infrastructure is so important at this moment:
This summer and fall, the DFL will be making historic investments in voter registration, college and high school campus organizing, outreach to communities of color, voter protection, and Get-Out-The-Vote efforts. Individual candidates will be spending much of their money on airing television ads, but the kind of people-to-people organizing the state party has already started takes money, and we need to do our part to make sure this is the most robust grassroots campaign the DFL has ever run.
If you consider yourself an ally or a member of the LGBTQ community, I would love to have you join the host committee for this event. If you're unable to make it on July 11, you can also make a contribution toward the event here.
Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you next month.
