Who We Are

We are dedicated Democrats, volunteering our time to elect Democrats at all level of government. 

We are a resource for local voters to learn more, get registered, get involved, and get excited.

We are mothers, fathers, children, students, doctors, farmers, candidates, and dreamers. We are members of the community.

The Albemarle Democratic Committee is the leadership of the Democratic Party in Albemarle County, VA. The committee is made up of members elected at a biannual reorganization meeting (to be held December 2025). The committee elects leadership of a steering committee that meets monthly, typically the 3rd Monday of each month at 5:30 PM.
