Holding on to Common-sense Minnesota Values
Senate District 49 covers the south of Minnetonka, all of Eden Prairie, and part of Chanhassen. We, the volunteers at Senate District 49 DFL, care deeply about our community and work to effect change that benefits all. We work to elect DFL leaders at all levels of government including our State Senator, State Representatives, City Council, School Board, and Hennepin County Commissioners.
We’d love to get to know you - please contact us below or join us at one of our upcoming events!
