Though the Minnesota Senior Federation does not endorse candidates we do encourage everyone to attend the precinct caucuses on February 5th, at 7 p.m.  Caucuses provide the opportunity for our membership to influence the various parties issue platforms. The following is a list of suggested resolutions you may want to present at the caucus of your choice.  Feel free to copy these suggestions and present them at your caucus. We also encourage you to draft and present your own resolutions as you see fit.

The following issues and resolutions are supported by the Minnesota Senior Federation. Each is available as:
