Our Purpose

The purpose of the Henderson County Democratic Party is to elect Democratic candidates who will fight to take care of individuals and families, strengthen communities and protect our democracy.

Getting Out The Vote

For Democrat candidates to be elected in Henderson County we need the votes of every registered Democrat and a significant proportion of those registered as Unaffiliated. The principal work of HCDP is to “Get out the Vote” (GOTV), encouraging our supporters to turnout for all elections (whether it be a Presidential year, a Mid-term year or a Municipals year). Only by getting Democrat voters to the polls can we see Democrats elected and start to see the community changes we all wish for.

To achieve our GOTV goals the County party has enlisted thousands of volunteers who get involved through, amongst other things:

Doorstep canvassing
Literature drops
Phonebanking
Sign distribution
Informational mailings

Text messaging
Postcard writing and mailing
Event organization
Robocalls

Our Organization

Henderson County is divided into 35 local Electoral Precincts. The County Democratic Party is operated through its County Executive Committee (CEC) comprised of officers elected by Democrats in each Precinct, together with some District and State representatives. The CEC elects a 6-person Executive Officer Committee (EOC) who serve at the will of the CEC to administer the daily affairs of HCDP. Various sub-committees co-ordinate specific activities (fundraising, events, GOTV etc). HCDP operates a headquarters office which serves as a hub for meetings and communication with the electorate.
