John,

It’s Richard Carlbom, reaching out to you as the newly elected Chair of the Minnesota DFL. 

As I begin serving in this new role, my top priority is connecting with the people who are the heart and soul of this party: the volunteers, organizers, and supporters who power our movement and make progress possible. 

You show up. You put in the work. You fight for our values. I want to ensure you have a seat at the table. 

That’s why the DFL is launching a listening tour across Minnesota — to hear directly from you and get feedback on what you want to see from the party.

And because we want to hear from as many people as possible, we’re also inviting you to share your thoughts through our 2025 Strategy Survey. 

Will you take a few minutes to complete this brief survey so we can make sure our party is on the right track? Your responses will be confidential.

Listening and learning from you will help us shape our vision and build a stronger, more united party — one that’s prepared to win up and down the ballot and create meaningful change in Minnesota. 

Thank you,

Richard Carlbom
Chair
Minnesota DFL
