Thank you for visiting the Jefferson County Democrats of Washington State!

Here at the JCD, our signature goal is supporting and electing great Democrats up and down the ballot. Especially within Jefferson County! But, being the true blues that we are, we also care about elections in our sister counties, across the state, and across this country. From school boards to public utility boards, every race matters and, ultimately, every race is local.

In addition to lifting up Democratic candidates, we do so much more! Monthly membership meetings that include informative and sometimes downright fascinating speakers, on topics that matter to our communities. Meetings are hybrid, with in-person and Zoom attendance. And because we all need a break now and then: social events! What better way to unwind and recharge than with a room full of like-minded friends. We also participate in local events such as the not-to-be-missed annual Rhody Parade. And, since you can’t run an organization or get candidates elected without money: Fundraisers that are actually FUN!

If you are looking for ways to keep track of various aspects of the political chaos, or for media alternatives, or for ways that YOU can get involved, check out our Take Action! page.

The political climate is volatile. There is more political uncertainty than ever. But one thing remains unchanged: The Jefferson County Democrats stand strong for the Democratic Party and for our local communities. And since our membership is our strength, we would love to have you join us!

Thank you again for visiting,
Lora De La Portilla, Chair
