Our Mission

The Manatee County Democratic Party works to promote Democratic issues at the local, state and federal level.  We are volunteers who work to increase Democratic voter registration and help Democratic candidates win elections in Manatee County.  We fundraise, develop our voting precincts, and support initiatives that further our values.

We actively support diversity; and we are a party that is greatly concerned about students, seniors, health care, the environment, civil rights, labor and main street businesses.

We are a local extension of the Florida Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee.  We consist of volunteers and all interested Democrats, including you!  Come to any of our open meetings, share your ideas and make a difference.

The Democratic Executive Committee (DEC) is the business side of the Party.  Ideally, it is comprised of one Committeeman and one Committeewoman from each precinct. DEC members volunteer in a way that suits their interests and time.  They often serve as Precinct Captains who are liaisons between the Democratic Party and the voters of their precinct.
