Attend Your Senate Endorsing Convention - Step 3
Attend Your Senate Endorsing Convention - Step 3
Itasca County is divided into 4 legislative senate and house districts. Because Itasca County does not encompass an entire legislative district, but only partial areas, Itasca County DFL cannot endorse candidates; hence Itasca County DFL delegates also attend a convention in their specific senate district to endorse. The senate district conventions also elect officers and representatives to the DFL State Central Committee.

Senate District 3 - contact Barb Crow
Senate District 6 - contact Denise Slipy
Senate District 7 - contact Johnnie Forest; see website: SD7DFL.org
