Welcome to the new website of The El Dorado County Democratic Party.  Please take a look around.  First, we ask that you sign up for our newsletter.  We will only be contacting you about once a quarter, plus invitations to special events and election info.  Don’t worry, it won’t be too much.

On the home page you will find posts of local events and importance.  New features include an “Elections” section detailing the next upcoming election and candidates and a “Elected Officials” section detailing your local, state and federal officials and their contact info.  A new calendar lists our party activities and meetings, plus other meetings you may be interested in.  You can click on the event name for more information, such as location and time.  Resources will provide you with some important links, plus a direct way to send a letter to the editor of our 3 major local papers.  There is a new “Opinion” and “Features” section, along with ways to contribute, volunteer and contact us.

We have also launched a facebook page, located at facebook.com/edcdems.  Here you can join in on interactive conversation on all Democratic topics.  You can even “like” the page right from our site.

We are putting the finishing touches on this new site, adding graphics and improving the menus, but we wanted to get it up for all to enjoy.

Do you ever feel like you are a lone Democrat in a County that is perceived as decidedly "red"?  If so, you are not alone.  But there is help on the way….

El Dorado County is turning one voter at a time.  More and more of our friends and neighbors are realizing that we all want the same thing and our values are similar.

Democrats are committed to:

  • Universal, comprehensive, affordable healthcare
  • A woman's right to make decisions affecting her body
  • A dignified retirement for seniors
  • Civil rights for all of our citizens and equality in marriage
  • Access to and equality in employment, education and economic opportunities
  • Sustainable, safe, environmentally sound and caring communities

The tabs on this site will give you an overview of what is happening in the County over the next few months.  Sign up for our newsletter.  Please check back often and feel free to contact us at 877-797-DEMS or Send an email
