8:00 AM Registration / 9:00 AM Start

Those elected as Delegates and Alternates at the February 3rd Caucuses qualify for attending this convention. 

A senate district convention can be an all-day affair, but it can be fun to meet others who are passionate about politics, and meet elected officials and candidates. There can be as many as 300 or so at the Senate District 43 convention. 

At the convention you'll:

• Hear speeches from candidates seeking to be endorsed for Senate District 43A and 43B representatives and Senate District 43 state senator. Delegates will vote on which candidate to endorse for each race (we will divide into districts 43A and 43B for the representative vote).

  • Often, you’ll also hear from candidates for higher office who wish to address delegates although no endorsing of them happens at this level. 

• Vote for delegates to advance to the Congressional District 5* convention and DFL State Convention.

• Vote for individuals to serve on convention committees.

• Vote for leadership of Senate District 43 – chair, vice chair, and other officers and directors. 

• Vote for delegates to be members of the DFL State Central Committee.

• Vote on which resolutions you want to advance to be considered for inclusion in the DFL platform. 

Crystal & New Hope residents… it’s time to rally together and enjoy some free pizza!

With the Senate District 43 DFL Endorsing Convention coming up quickly, we want to celebrate what we’ve accomplished and look forward to the work to come. Most importantly, we want to connect with the community and build enthusiasm for our campaign and all that it represents.

Travis is fighting to deliver sound policy and not sound bites for District 43A and the state of Minnesota. If you’re excited about that, bring your energy. We look forward to seeing you there!

Enjoy donuts and some enthusiastic discussion about the future of District 43A and our great state of Minnesota!

This event is for delegates & alternates only. Read below for more information about how to attend.

If you live in New Hope or Crystal, and our vision for our communities and Minnesota resonates with you, I ask that you attend DFL caucus night on Tuesday, February 3rd at 6:30 PM at Sandburg Middle School and that you volunteer to become a delegate to the March 21st DFL endorsing convention for House District 43A.

This election begins at caucus. Whoever has won the DFL endorsement in this district has gone on to win the August primary for more than 50 years.

We’re holding a District 43A roundtable to hear directly from people about what they’re dealing with and what our path forward should look like on affordability, public safety, health care, and more.

When we listen to each other and act together, we can make Minnesota a state where people can afford to live, feel safe in their neighborhoods, and get the care they need.

If you live in District 43A, we want to hear from you!

As we all look to what 2026 will bring, please come join in the kick-off of Travis Thompson’s campaign for Minnesota House District 43A. Complimentary food and beverages will be served and Travis will speak about his vision for residents of District 43A and Minnesota as a whole.

As Travis prepares to gain the endorsement of the DFL and earn support of the community, this is the perfect opportunity to ask questions and learn more. Complimentary food and beverages will be served.
