The Dutchess County Democratic Committee is comprised of the members of the 22 Town and City Democratic committees.

Municipal committees are elected by voters who register as Democrats, every two years; multiple Democrats can run to represent a certain Election District in a community and such races are decided at the June primary.

Our local committees help County leadership understand what issues their towns are facing and what developments are occurring, and encourage and support candidates for Town Board, Mayor and Supervisor, Tax Receiver and Judges. They also assist with finding candidates for County Legislature, County Executive, District Attorney, County Clerk and New York State Assembly and Senator.

Local committees are a resource for any questions about town or county government. Most meet regularly and welcome any registered Democrats from their municipalities.​
