About Our Party

web design -- ask how to help.

Get really involved. Run for office.
Manatee County needs Democratic candidates at all levels of government.
Local and down-ballot offices such as Board of County Comissioners, city councils
and school board, or even soil and water conservation, matter to our communities.
