We believe local government plays an important role
in protecting the things we hold in common,
 in safeguarding the welfare of our residents
and in building a strong and sustainable future.

The Town of Caroline (New York) Democratic Committee is open to any registered Democrat in the Town of Caroline.

Our mission is to recruit and support qualified candidates for local office, and also to assist Democratic candidates at the county, state and federal level, by collecting signatures to get them on the ballot and working to register and turn out voters on election day.

In a broader sense, our mission is to build the Democratic Party and help maintain and improve its reputation. We are the party that cares about families, workers, and members of vulnerable communities. Our party values transparency, integrity, democracy, and civility. In Caroline, we hold ourselves to a high standard. We can agree to disagree with local members of other parties on various issues and still work together. Our community comes first and binds us all together.

The Democratic Committee meets by zoom on the fourth Wednesday of the month. New members are always welcome. We look forward to your involvement.

Thank you for thinking about our community and doing what you can to be civically involved!

-- Emily Adams, Town of Caroline Democratic Committee chair
