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're proud to endorse Clayton Howatt for the St. Paul Board of Education. As a parent leader, Clayton Howatt understands the importance of community involvement and advocacy to strengthen our schools. His experience bringing parents and neighbors together around challenges has prepared him to be an effective school board member. ” - Sam Doten (Political Director for Stonewall DFL).
Endorsed candidates meet or exceed Stonewall DFL’s screening criteria as set forth by its Political Support Committee and affirmed by at least 60% of the Stonewall DFL Board of Directors.
The Constitution and Bylaws Committee is set to meet tomorrow, Monday, May 10th at 6:30pm.
At our last meeting we elected Robert Anderson as our Deputy Chair, and discussed our trajectory for the rest of the year (see graphic). During tomorrow's meeting, we will delve into cementing the mission of this caucus, and define, generally, what vision is. As will be customary, there will be takeaway “homework”; brainstorming, based on our definition of vision, what the vision of Stonewall ought to be.
