Who are we and what we do

Our mission is pivotal: to defend democratic values, empower grassroots organizing, and support candidates who are committed to making a real difference in our community. We believe in the power of people coming together to create a future that is just, equitable, and sustainable for all.
At the core of our efforts is the support and nurturing of candidates who embody our values and vision for the Town of Wappinger. Through comprehensive training, resources, and unwavering support, we ensure that these leaders are well-equipped to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. Our commitment to democracy goes beyond the ballot box; it is woven into the fabric of our community engagement, advocacy, and the promotion of policies that benefit every resident.
Grassroots organizing is the heartbeat of our committee. We harness the incredible energy and passion of volunteers, activists, and community members, channeling it into impactful campaigns and initiatives. From voter registration drives to educational forums and beyond, our grassroots efforts are designed to amplify voices, mobilize action, and foster a deep sense of community solidarity.
The work we do is more than just political - it's about building a community that cares, listens, and acts. In defending democracy, we open doors to conversations that matter, pushing forward the boundaries of what's possible when we stand united. The Town of Wappinger Democratic Committee is not just an organization; it's a movement of passionate individuals dedicated to the common good.
Join us in this journey of transformation and hope. Together, we can shape a future that reflects our shared values and aspirations. Welcome to a place where your voice matters, your actions make a difference, and the defense of democracy is a cause that brings us together, stronger and more determined than ever.
