| Info | David J. “Dave” Frederickson (born March 2, 1944) is a Minnesota politician and is a former member of the Minnesota Senate from southwestern Minnesota. First elected in 1986 in the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s “firestorm” that swept through the region, giving Democrats unprecedented control of southwestern Minnesota for the next several election cycles, Frederickson served two terms. He was re-elected in 1990. He represented the old District 20, which included all or portions of Chippewa, Lac Qui Parle, Redwood, Swift and Yellow Medicine counties.
From the small town of Murdock, Frederickson, a farmer, earned a reputation as a strong advocate for farmers and agricultural issues, education, and tax reform. While in the legislature, He was a member of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Development, Education, Local and Urban Government, Taxes and Tax Laws, and Governmental Operations committees, and of various sub-committees relevant to each area. He chaired the Agriculture and Rural Development Subcommittee on Agriculture Resources during the 1991 and 1992 sessions.
After Frederickson's service in the legislature concluded, he was elected president of the National Farmers Union, a national federation of State Farmers Union organizations in the United States, and the second largest general farm organization in the country. He served in that position until 2006. He also worked as an Agricultural Outreach Director for U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar.
Frederickson is a graduate of St. Cloud State University in Saint Cloud, Minnesota.
