Your contribution will go towards operating the county party, promoting our values, and promoting Democratic candidates.
Join the Democratic Party and help elect Democrats to fight for the values that we hold dear! You'll become a member of both the state and county parties.
Your contribution will go towards sponsoring young Democrats (aged 18-25) to attend the Democratic Leadership Institute in Wisconsin to train the next generation of leaders.
Contributing to vs. Joining the Party: What's the difference?
You can do BOTH!
