As elected members of the Democratic County Committee, they have a responsibility to serve the democrats of their district; identify and register new Democratic voters; assist in all phases of Party work at the municipal and county levels; participate in planning and running of campaigns; work to build a larger Democratic vote in their district; and serve as an advocate and representative of the residents of their district regarding neighborhood or district issues.

They represent the Democratic Party, both elected officials and candidates, to the residents of their election district. Their constituents should be able to look to them for help with problems that need Party or government action.

In addition, their statutory duty is to act in all Party matters as the elected representatives from their district to the county and municipal organizations, and to participate in the formulation of Party rules, platform, and policy at all levels. The Party’s vitality depends upon the leadership, imagination, and efforts of the County Committee.

The job done by the Committeeman and Committeewoman in each election district is very important. It is the basis upon which Party strength is built.
