Becoming a Democratic Committee Man/Woman

Each of the 69 precincts in Indiana County has a Committee Man & Woman position.  The positions are four year terms coinciding with the election of the governor.  Candidates were elected in the spring primary by  petitioning to have their names on the ballot or through write-in.  The remaining open positions are now filled through appointment by the chair.  If you are interested in serving a position open in your precinct, contact Tammie.

The committee person is an important link between the Democratic Party, the candidates and their community.  You are the “grass roots” - distributing resources on candidates and issues, encouraging voter turnout, and ensuring a reliable election process.  Democrats have the registration edge in Indiana but are less likely than Republicans to vote.  If Committee people –and us as their neighbors — get the infrequent Democratic voters out, WE WIN!   The DNC projects that the 2004 elections would have been won with 5 more voters per precinct.  MAKE IT HAPPEN!
