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.
