The filing deadline to be a Precinct Committee Person (PCP) is Tuesday, March 11 at 5 pm. This election is held during the May Primary.

Grassroots activism is critical to success in November, and like everything else, we need to begin NOW (actually, yesterday!) Becoming a Precinct Committee Person (PCP) can afford you opportunities that you'd miss as a regular volunteer: Your participation at this level will enable you to expand and deepen your involvement, as well as allow you to become a part of the Party decision making process.

All candidates who submitted endorsement requests by the deadline were considered for endorsement. We justify our support for these candidates on the basis of their experience, their integrity, their abilities, their positions, and their participation in the Democratic Party.
