Hello Senate District 58 family and friends!

Senate District 58 DFL — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:44:28 +0000

Welcome! Each one of us has the responsibility to educate, motivate and activate to keep up the momentum of getting more DFL friends engaged and active in the party.

This year, Senate District 58 DFL is working more closely with the Fifth Congressional District and our City units to ensure that we are reaching out to our precinct leaders, DFL family members and friends to keep them involved in DFL activities.

The Senate District 58 DFL is comprised of all volunteers and we do rely on people like you to help us carry the Party’s message to our neighbors and friends who reside in our district. Without an on-the-ground commitment from dedicated volunteers working during the campaign seasons, it would be impossible for us to achieve our goals for a better district and a better Minnesota!

If you are interested in volunteering and meeting some wonderful people consider contacting the following committees:

• Volunteer Committee: contact Linda Elston at volunteer.coordinator@sd58dfl.org

• Precinct A Coordinating Committee: contact Jeff Strand at precinct.coordinator.a@sd58dfl.org

• Precinct B Coordinating Committee: contact Caroline Duffy at precinct.coordinator.b@sd58dfl.org

• Communications: contact Jim Skoog at communications@sd58dfl.org

• Programs and Issues: contact Al McFarlane at programs@sd58dfl.org

• Legislative Liaison: contact Brett Buckner at legislative.liaison@sd58dfl.org

P.S. Financial contributions are welcome as well. Click for information on how to contribute.
