Our Annual Mystery Car Rally this past Sunday was a rousing success! About a half dozen teams tore around town to solve riddles and discover who was the culprit of “Not Your Usual Bank Heist” - a fun mystery that our Fundraiser Director George Maxwell puts together each year. 

“Federal education dollars are now at risk thanks to President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, which could significantly hurt Minnesota public school districts.”

Thank you to all the DFL49ers who showed up on April 5th! Official counts were 25,000 people in St. Paul and millions of people worldwide.

The 2025 DFL Business Convention was as busy as they get, with plenty of lively discussion all throughout the day.

““As the nation's largest statewide startup competition, MN Cup identifies, supports and connects early-stage ventures throughout the state.” Apply by April 11th!

Our 2025 Convention was a resounding success! Thank you to all the incredible volunteers who dedicated their time and energy to make the event fulfilling and entertaining. Officers were elected to a 2 year term, and speakers shared messages of resilience and hope.

Your personal accounts may be accessed for the whims of someone who isn’t accountable – you didn’t vote for Elon Musk.” Read more at EPLN.
