Calling all Democratic Activists who want to Make a Difference:
Become a PDC Board Member

The Peninsula Democratic Coalition (PDC) is the largest and oldest Democratic Club on the Peninsula. Our club has a lot of clout with elected officials and those in the community running for office. Many electeds started their careers as members of the PDC.

We are looking for new board members who would like to help us advance our goals of promoting Democracy and electing good solid Democrats to office statewide and nationally. We also provide educational programs for our over 300 members and have a lively picnic every year.

Please contact me at lorriholzberg@gmail.com if you are interested in being on the PDC Board. We have monthly board meetings and are an active and fun board.
