Filing week means you have the opportunity to use your voice to shape our future!
Throughout this year we've talked about the value in lifting every voice in our district, as well as the grassroots nature of the Democratic Party. For too many, and for too long, party politics has felt like a top-down game political insiders get to play. We have tried to shift that dynamic in our district, and filing week is a critical moment in that effort.
Precinct Committee Officers ("PCOs") are the foundation of the Democratic Party. In even years like 2026, you have the chance to file to become one.
PCOs elect the officers of their Legislative District Organizations and County Central Committees, who then go on to elect the officers of the State Central Committee. State Central Committee officers from across the country then elect the officers of the National Committee. In this way, PCOs affect who runs the Democratic Party from the bottom-up.
PCOs also have universal voting rights in their Legislative District Organizations, including in appointing leaders to public office like we did in 2025, and have the critical responsibility of engaging and empowering voters in their precinct.
As the saying goes, nothing changes if nothing changes.
If we're going to build a Democratic Party that better reflects our communities — one that understands and reflects us, and acts in accordance with our values — we need you to become a PCO.
Filing is open until 5:00 PM on Friday, May 8, but the sooner you file then better!
