About Us

The mission of Indian River County Democrats is to operate and maintain a grassroots network of people residing in Indian River County, Florida that is open, inclusive and accessible to all.  Indian River County Democrats is a community organization that reaches out to all races, sexes, minorities and youth, increasing participation by Democrats in local issues and elections and serving as the focus for election of Democrats to local, state and national offices.

Indian River County Democrats are dedicated to building the party, communicating core democratic principles to the public, and the recruitment and support of local candidates.The Indian River County Democrats believe that everyone has a voice and can make a difference in the political process at the federal, state and local levels. We work to encourage Treasure Coast Floridians to contribute to the growth and ideals of the Democratic Party by: providing information and education; interacting with other Democrats; discussing current issues and events and becoming engaged with the community through volunteer efforts. 

Indian River County Democrats have a great tradition of helping to preserve the progressive ideals of our party. Our members have been involved in efforts to elect Democrats at every level - from the White House to the State House to the School House! We've done it all - going door to door, waving signs on street corners, phone banking, registering voters, making financial contributions, hosting fundraisers, and planning events. If you've never been involved in a campaign, if you're a seasoned veteran, or if you already hold public office -- the Indian River County Democrats welcome everyone! There has never been a time as important as now to get involved.
