Become a Precinct Committee Person
A lot is at stake for Jackson County! The more people who volunteer, the better our community becomes! Will you help us?
Consider becoming a Precinct Committee Person! What is a Precinct Committee Person? All Democratic Party Precinct Committee Persons (PCPs) in Jackson County belong to the Central Committee (CC), which is the governing body of the Democratic Party of Jackson County. As a PCP, you have a voice and vote in the party when we make decisions that affect your community.
PCPs are organized by House District and precinct. As a PCP, you are the party’s grassroots, representing your neighbors to the party and the party to your neighbors. For every 500 registered voters in a precinct, there can be one precinct person of each gender (male, female, non-binary).
