Organize our communities
Create meaningful ways for people to participate in their precincts, neighborhoods, and county.
Neighbors organizing neighbors
We are the Democratic Party in Thurston County.
We are precinct officers, members, volunteers, candidates, elected leaders, organizers, and neighbors working together across Thurston County.
Our purpose is larger than any single campaign. We build the relationships, leadership, organization, and civic power that allow people to shape the future of the place they call home.
Democracy is sustained through a year-round presence in the community.
What we are here to do
Build durable local power.
We help people move from concern to participation, from participation to leadership, and from shared values to effective public action.
Support Democratic candidates
Recruit, prepare, equip, and support candidates committed to serving the people of Thurston County.
Develop local leaders
Give members and volunteers opportunities to learn, take responsibility, and grow into lasting leadership.
Remain present year-round
Build relationships, share useful civic information, and serve the community between elections—not only during them.
One organization, many ways to lead
The organization belongs to its members.
Our strength comes from people accepting different forms of responsibility while remaining aligned around a common mission.
Central Committee
The governing body of the organization, composed of its eligible members and precinct committee officers.
Precinct Committee Officers
Neighborhood-level Democratic representatives who connect the organization to voters and communities throughout the county.
Executive Committee
Elected officers responsible for administration, coordination, stewardship, and carrying out the organization’s work.
Committees
Mission-focused teams that turn organizational priorities into candidate services, communications, events, outreach, and durable infrastructure.
Members
The people who participate in meetings, shape priorities, exercise voting rights, and sustain the organization.
Volunteers
Neighbors who contribute their time and talents to projects, campaigns, events, and community service.
How we approach the work
Our allegiance is to the people.
Service before self
Leadership is a responsibility to be useful, accountable, and worthy of the trust placed in us.
Broad participation
Strong organizations invite people in, develop their abilities, and create genuine opportunities to contribute.
Local presence
We earn trust by listening, building relationships, and showing up consistently throughout Thurston County.
