We are working hard to find ways to build and strengthen TCD and make it the best County Democrat organization in the state! Beginning at the grassroots level, we must identify our supporters, fill vacant PCO positions, and identify potential candidates for office who can win and who will further our progressive TCD platform.
To do this, we’ll need help from all Democrats and we encourage you to volunteer some of your valuable time on one or more committees, some of which are listed below. Some committees will be short-term and, once their objectives are accomplished, will no longer need to meet. Others will become more long-term and membership will be increased as goals are established and activities are identified.
Democrats are richly talented and generous to a fault…we hope you will consider sharing your unique skills and abilities to help us build a stronger, more responsive TCD.

Historical Records
FOCUS: This committee will begin the important task of documenting the "institutional knowledge" within the Thurston County Democrat organization. There are many who have been around the organization for years who have valuable information that should be collected for current and future reference so we don't unnecessarily reinvent the wheel.
