The Senate District 38 DFL Convention on February 20, 2010, passed 25 resolutions ranging from support of universal health care and other health care reforms to promotion of climate change and other environmental protection policies to limiting corporate involvement in campaigns and elections.

The District Convention's passage of the 25 resolutions is one step in the process of amending the state DFL party platform that began when precinct caucus attendees proposed and adopted 67 resolutions on February 2. At least 60% of District Convention delegates had to vote in favor of a resolution in order for it to be passed and sent to the DFL State Convention April 23-25 in Duluth for consideration by those delegates for inclusion in the party platform.
