State Convention is almost here!

This year's convention theme is "Unite For Our Future," a call to action grounded in shared democratic values and collective responsibility.

At a moment when division threatens progress, we come together—across generations, communities, and regions—to reaffirm that democracy works best when everyone has a voice and a stake in what comes next. This convention is about leadership rooted in hope, action over cynicism, and unity as the engine of lasting change. Together, we are not just defending democracy—we are building a future worthy of the next generation.

You WON’T want to miss Convention this year. We’ve got a hotly contested U.S. House Race, and as a delegate, YOU will have the opportunity to shape our future.

We’re excited to announce that Denver Mayor Mike Johnston will be our keynote speaker on Saturday. DNC Midwest Region President Ron Harris will speak at Friday Evening’s Dinner with Democrats.

Since the start of his administration, Denver has achieved historic reductions in street homelessness, enhanced public safety, expanded affordable housing, and invested in revitalizing its downtown. Mayor Johnston started his career as a high school English teacher in the Mississippi Delta. He returned to Colorado to become a school principal, leading three different schools in the Denver metro area, and later served as a senior education advisor to President Obama.
Harris served as Minnesota State Campaign Director for Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential race and as Chief Resilience Officer for the City of Minneapolis.

We’re thrilled to bring Mayor Mike Johnston and DNC Midwest Chair Ron Harris to North Dakota. Under Mayor Johnston, Denver has seen the largest reduction in homelessness and homicides. Ron has been on the front lines of responding to the chaos of heavily armed, masked federal agents in Minnesota and has organized Democrats across the state in local, statewide, and federal elections. Democrats fight for strong and safe communities, and these men exemplify that.

Help us elect great Democrats up and down the ballot!
The North Dakota Democratic-NPL is launching a new grassroots program called “Neighbor to Neighbor” where volunteers will connect with voters in your community to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. As a volunteer, you will be responsible for connecting with voters in 25 homes in your neighborhood or friends and family to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot about 3-4 times this year.
Grassroots organizers are the lifeblood of the Dem-NPL! Sign up to volunteer with the Dem-NPL!
