About the PDC

The Peninsula Democratic Coalition works to promote the Democratic Party and get local, state, and national Democrats elected. Our members come from throughout the communities in Silicon Valley. We offer frequent events such as luncheons, speakers, and debates. We sponsor voter outreach and registration drives at Peninsula events throughout the year. We also have a few big annual events each year such as our February Annual Meeting, Summer Fundraising Picnic and December Holiday Party.
