About PCDCC

who we are

We Are the Official Arm of the Democratic Party in Platte County, Missouri

The Platte County Democratic Central Committee’s Mission is to foster involvement in the Democratic Party, promote Democratic principles and to recruit and elect Democratic candidates in the county, state and nation. The committee is governed by officers and members who are elected every even year during the August primary.

All are welcome to attend the PCDCC meetings on the third Thursday of the month.

HISTORICAL NOTE: We’re focused on the future, but there’s plenty to delve into if you are interested in the rich history of the party in Platte County. Record books dating back to 1902 are available for view by the public upon request. The PCDCC History page features some excerpts and a timeline.

Our Officers and Members are Committed to Turning Platte County Blue in 2024!
