Brochure and Membership Form (printable)

The Minnesota Capitol was the site of the inaugural Senior Caucus rally on April 30, 2025. We rallied in protest of the federal administration cuts and threats to Social Securit, Medicare/Medicaid, Veterans Health care, and supports for people with disabilities. Approximately 700 seniors and supporters rallied with us. Many interesting speakers engaged the crowd.

Who We Are

We are seniors affiliated with the MN Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) who created the DFL Senior Caucus in order to influence government on behalf of anyone 55 or older. We believe what Paul Wellstone said: “We all do better when we all do better!”

What We Do

We listen to seniors, whether they are still working or whether they are retired, to learn what they want now and in the future. We actively support and work with DFL legislators, candidates and officials willing to address senior needs.

Where We Are

We have a state-wide board that works with Minnesota State and Federal Officials to advance programs addressing senior needs. We have critical committees that develop our programs, connect with seniors, and lobby our legislators. We have a network of local chapters across Minnesota, North, South, and Central promoting local senior needs and keeping seniors across the state up-to-date.

Please Join Us!

When I retired, I decided to join DFL Senior Caucus to continue my support for people programs including Medicare, Social Security, health care, voting rights, informed decision-making about political decisions and the pleasure of joining together with those who support these issues…
