About Us
DFL Senate District 44 (SD44) is a local unit of the state Democratic Farmer Labor (DFL) party in Minnesota. We are responsible for organizing DFL efforts in the 44th Senate District – an area including Saint Louis Park, Hopkins, and the southern half of Golden Valley.
All residents of Senate District 44 (SD44) who support the principles of the DFL Party and are not members of any other political party are eligible for membership in this organization. Senate District 44 DFL is governed between conventions by a Central Committee which meets monthly, and by an Executive Committee which meets on an as needed basis. Meeting dates, times and locations are posted in the SD44 Central Committee Calendar
The SD44 Executive Committee consists of the 44th District Officers (Chair, Associate Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Affirmative Action Officer), Directors, as well as Delegates and Alternates from SD44 to the State Central Committee, and Congressional District 5 and Congressional District 3 Central Committees.
The SD44 Central Committee consists of the Executive Committee members as well as the Precinct Chairs and Associate Chairs within Senate District 44. That includes 6 Hopkins precincts, 5 Golden Valley precincts, and 14 Saint Louis Park precincts. Each precinct may have 1 Chair and 2 Associate Chairs. Vacancies occur periodically – if you would like to become involved as a Precinct Chair or Associate Chair click here [make that into a link] and someone will get back to you if there is a vacancy in your precinct. If there isn’t a vacancy, there are plenty of other ways to become involved!
More information on these and related topics is available in the SD44 Constitution and SD44 Bylaws [make them into links]. If you are interested in joining and volunteering with SD44, you may attend any of the scheduled meetings or indicate your interest by submitting an online form.
