The Minneapolis Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, officially just the Minneapolis DFL, is the local organizing unit of the Minnesota DFL, the Minnesota state branch of the U.S. Democratic Party. Minneapolis is a strongly Democratic city, and the DFL has been the dominant political force in its municipal government for decades. Local elections in Minneapolis are officially nonpartisan, but candidates can seek the DFL endorsement due to the party's support and organizing infrastructure.
