Staunton, Virginia has an active and vital Democratic community. As the nation swings back to political sanity, it finds us already there - clear-eyed, rational, and ready to do the work of responsible citizenship.
If you support government that serves the public interest by ensuring that each person is treated equally under the law, that no person is abandoned to ignorance, starvation, homelessness, or health catastrophe, that each citizen serves as a conscientious member of our democracy, and that our nation should engage the world as a strong, reliable ally with like-thinking nations - as a beacon of hope , and ardent defender of human rights - then we invite you to join the Democratic Party of the United States of America, and as a registered voter in Staunton, Virginia, to serve on our committee.
The Staunton Democratic Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month, in the Staunton City Council Chambers (Check this page for any changes to this schedule).
Our mission is to find prospective candidates to run as Democrats for offices in which Staunton is a constituency, raise money for Democratic candidates, and work for their election.
Along the way, we try to have as much fun as possible, and to keep up a lively dialogue with our candidates and officeholders.
Given the prevailing Republican environment in our region, the Shenandoah Valley, we have an uphill battle to gain more for our constituency. So we need your help!
It's easy. Just come to one of our meetings, and sign up!
Remember, government begins with the local party committees. If we don't stay informed, vote, and serve our electoral process - to do the work of citizenship, we will fail to get a high quality government that delivers the great and beautiful promise of America.
