Help Make It A Democratic New Year!

Start (Or Renew) Your Sustaining Membership In the Dallas County Democratic Party
      
The Sustaining Membership is an opportunity for Democrats to show their support for the party. As you know, the party operates to serve the party membership, elected officials, candidates and other activists and voters throughout the county. The members are the backbone of the party. Their continuous activities keep Democrats in office, and keep our values alive in a sea of RED.

The challenges to our issues and candidates always need support. That support comes from a viable party office.  As you can imagine, it costs plenty to keep us running and keep us BLUE. The only way to make sure the office is fully funded is through Sustaining Member contributions. Your regular donation of as little as $10 a month is an investment in the future of the local Democratic Party. Thank you for your contributions and concern for DCDP.

We have several levels of Sustaining Memberships, each with its own category name and benefits. Read about them all and choose your level to get (or renew) your Sustaining Membership at this page
