Welcome to the First Congressional District!

Map of Minnesota divided into eight congressional districts, each marked by a number and distinct color. District 1 is located in the southern portion of Minnesota bordering Iowa. Various Minnesota counties are labeled within each district.

The 1st Congressional District of Minnesota extends across the southern border from South Dakota on the west to Wisconsin on the east.

Candidates listed are seeking endorsement from the First Congressional District DFL. We remain uncommitted until the endorsing convention in April/May 2026. For more information contact us!

We believe that every American and Minnesotan, regardless of their immutable traits has a right to stable employment with fair wages, to a proper education, to raise and provide for a family, to accessible and affordable healthcare, to live in safe communities, and to retire with dignity and security.

In the course of our Party’s history, much has been accomplished and we at the DFL Party will continue working for a better Minnesota and nation into tomorrow and beyond.

Be a part of the future of our democracy by getting involved with the DFL today!
