ABOUT US

SERVING FAYETTE COUNTY SINCE 2003

The Fayette County Democratic Committee (FCDC) is a county political party of the Democratic Party of Georgia (DPG). Our voting body is comprised of 24 Democrats from each of the 4 County Commission Districts within Fayette County and 1 At-Large District. Voting members are elected by caucus during regular Fayette County Democratic Party business meetings in even numbered years, but anyone may apply to fill vacant seats any time.

We engage in Get-Out-The-Vote activities year in and year out, especially during election years. District by district, we find opportunities to increase Democratic performance and improve Democratic participation.  We work to support our Democratic elected officials during difficult legislative battles.

Above all, we stand for social and economic justice. It’s time for you to stand with us in this important work. To make a real difference, we need Democrats from all walks of life and every district in our county.

OUR EXECUTIVE BOARD

HOW IT WORKS

All Democrats in Fayette County, GA are invited to participate in the activities and events of the Fayette Democrats. The best place to start is by attending a monthly meeting or by joining our party.

If you’d like to get involved in the business of the party–to become a voting member of the body–the process is a little more involved. Only members of the Fayette County Democratic Committee may vote at FCDC Business Meetings and in party elections conducted by the Fayette County Democratic Party (such as those for Officers and State Committee Members). Also, being elected as a County Committee member qualifies you to run for some of these elected positions.

Our committee has 36 members: five elected from each County District (1 through 4) and sixteen selected from County District 5 (At-Large). Within each district, half of the Members are elected in Presidential election years and half are elected in Gubernatorial election years. Terms for members the Post Seat Holders are four years long.
