What Is A Central Committee?
County Central Committees are in charge of the Democratic Party campaigns in their county, under the general direction of the State Democratic Party. Central Committees raise funds, plan election activities, and may open campaign headquarters. Several County Committees have permanent offices and staff. In addition, the Monterey County Democratic Central Committee (MCDCC) charters local Democratic Clubs with dues paying memberships of a minimum of 20 registered Democrats. See a chart of the MCDCC structure.
Representatives to the MCDCC are elected every two years (in even numbered years). Representation on the MCDCC is based on the number of registered Democrats within each County Supervisorial District and members must live in the Supervisorial District which they represent. Members can be local Democrats elected to the Committee, as well as partisan-level Democratic nominees or Democratic Elected Officials (ex-officio members) who live in the county.
