Do Something in 2026!
Trump’s extreme policies are scary — but we are determined to save Democracy! Our county party’s primary focus is on finding good candidates to run against local extremists who embrace Trump’s ideologies, and getting these candidates elected. You can push back against the actions of Trump and his MAGA allies while holding our elected officials accountable.

Support the Jackson County Democrats!
The Jackson County Democratic Party has NO paid staff — even our Chair is a volunteer! We receive NO financial assistance from the national party and very little from the state party. Our operating expenses are modest. Our major expenditures are primarily in supporting campaigns of local Democrats running for elected office. Support the Jackson County Democrats.
We also invite you to join our Grassroots Donors and help us maintain basic operations and organizing efforts. Grassroots Donors make monthly donations from $5 to $50 (there is no upper limit). Please consider becoming a Grassroots Donor. Any amount helps!
NOTE: All those text messages and emails that you receive asking for donations are NOT from us! Those are usually sent by the state and national party branches. If you choose to support the Jackson County Democrats, we will not fill your inboxes with pleas for support.
