Supporting Democratic Candidates
The Thurston County Democrats (TCD) play a vital role in supporting Democratic candidates across the county. With a mission to elect Democrats at all levels of government, TCD provides resources, training, and advocacy to empower candidates to run effective campaigns. Through workshops and training sessions, candidates gain the tools and knowledge needed to develop strategies, connect with voters, and comply with campaign finance laws. These efforts ensure candidates are well-prepared to engage with the community and convey their platforms effectively.

Endorsements are another significant way TCD supports candidates. These are granted through a formal process involving motions and votes by the membership. Endorsements go to candidates who publicly identify as Democrats or align with the party's values. In nonpartisan races, TCD may endorse candidates who reflect Democratic principles, ensuring voters have clear options that align with their priorities. Endorsed candidates also benefit from access to valuable resources, including inclusion in TCD communications, voter data, and connections to potential donors and volunteers. These tools help candidates compete effectively and build strong campaigns.

Building Connections and Strategic Support
TCD actively fosters connections between candidates and the community, offering platforms for engagement through meetings, forums, and public events. These opportunities allow candidates to present their visions and gain visibility within the county. By promoting Democratic values and policies, TCD creates an environment where candidates can build credibility and connect with supporters.
​
Collaboration with the Washington State Democratic Party and other local organizations amplifies TCD’s support for candidates. By integrating campaign assistance into strategic plans, TCD ensures that candidates have the backing and resources to achieve their goals. This comprehensive approach reflects TCD’s dedication to electing Democratic leaders who represent the interests of Thurston County and uphold the values of the party.
