Anita Smithson (she/her) is a mother, community leader, advocate, and organizer dedicated to building community, finding shared values, and advancing an equitable future.
Democracy in America is at a crossroads - I am running for DFL Secretary because I am in this fight with you, and I want our party to be the best it can possibly be. I believe that I can be a bold leader at the top of our state party to ensure we meet the moments before us.
DFL State Central Committee members, and party leaders across our state: I ask for your support and your vote at the March 29, 2025 DFL Business Conference in Edina. You can learn more about me here.
