We are a dynamic organization consisting of Democrats of all backgrounds and viewpoints looking to make a difference in Lancaster City. We are open, inclusive, accessible and principle-based. We are committed to following a lawful, democratic process to excite and engage all citizens.

We envision a Democratic Committee that seeks and embraces broad community and workforce input to formulate its platform. We work to make our Democratic Party a strong and inspirational voice to communicate our message of expectation and empowerment. We strive to align our values and beliefs with our actions.

As Chairman, I hope to continue the influential work of our past leadership. They, with the commitment of our members, have expanded the role and importance of our organization in the community. Our success will be measured by our ability to attract a vast number of women and men to serve the Democratic Party’s ideals and to recruit, elect and support good leaders to govern and guide us - today and tomorrow.

Committee persons are the backbone of the Democratic Party. Two committee persons are elected from each precinct to serve four-year terms. They are responsible for registering voters in their precinct, circulating nominating petitions, distributing campaign materials, and getting out the Democratic vote on Election Day. They also help to recruit and nominate Democrats for local office.

To run as a committee person for the primarily of 2010, candidates must circulate a nominating petition beginning February 16th, get at least ten signatures from registered Democrats in your precinct, and file the nomination petition by March 9th at the Lancaster County Board of Elections (150 N Queen St). For more information, please contact Vice-Chair of the City Democrats Kendra Saunders by email or 717-201-1161.
