Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party

The State Central Committee is the governing body of the Minnesota DFL Party between State Conventions, which occur every two years. The Committee meets three to four times a year over and its members and committees are responsible for conducting the official business of the DFL Party.

The State Central Committee is made up of the State Executive Committee, ten elected officials, the leaders of the Minnesota Young DFL, the chairs and associate chairs of each senate district, and 332 representatives elected from county units.

The Committee's duties are to:

• Conduct business conferences to discuss party issues, training and outreach, and party building
• Reconvene an adjourned State Convention
• Grant charters to a constituency caucus as an organization within the Party
• Modify the Action Agenda
• Fill vacancies among state officers, statewide delegates, and alternates to the Democratic National Conventions
• Endorse candidates for statewide office
• Select statewide nominees for presidential electors
