Screening Process:
Minneapolis Area DFL Senior Caucus 2025 screening questionnaires are now available!
Candidates seeking the DFL Senior Caucus endorsement must complete a written questionnaire, which are available on the State DFL Senior Caucus website HERE. Completed submissions are then forwarded to the Minneapolis Chapter for consideration.
Please note: Because of the time required to open and collect questionnaires, schedule and hold candidate screenings, move Screening Committee recommendations through the local chapter, the State Caucus PAC and Executive Board review for approval, we are not going to be able to secure endorsements for City Council before ward conventions. As an alternative, we will invite City Council candidates to complete the questionnaires, which we will then make available to the public via the local chapter website and at ward conventions. We believe this is the best option to share candidate’s perspectives on Senior Caucus issues. We may consider recommending City Council candidates for endorsement after the conventions.
The City DFL Convention is scheduled for Saturday, July 19 – Sunday, July 20. That timing allows for the Screening Committee to conduct interviews and make recommendations for races for Mayor, Board of Estimate and Taxation and Park Board before the convention.
The deadline for completed questionnaires to be considered for the first round of screenings is Monday, April 21.
Again, you can find the questionnaires for all of the Minneapolis races on the State DFL Senior Caucus website HERE. Please contact Cara Letofsky, Political Director at
