What Is The Charles County Democratic Central Committee?
The Charles County Democratic Central Committee (CCDCC) is the county unit of the Maryland Democratic Party. Central Committee members are volunteers elected to a four-year term by the Democratic voters in the Gubernatorial Primary Election.
CCDCC is not an organization of managers, a board of directors, or a policy group. Rather, CCDCC exists fundamentally to facilitate the election of Democrats. In essence Central Committee members are the people elected to work directly in the trenches on behalf of the Party and to organize an on-going presence at the local level. They are the people who do the organizing and actual tasks of helping get Democrats elected. Its members are themselves election workers at the local level, and help administer the committee's ongoing campaign to recruit candidates for offices, to train volunteers, and do party building activities in the county.
Central Committee members are the grass roots-level elected volunteers of the State Democratic Party. They are dedicated to working to ensure the election of Democrats to public office, while encouraging the participation of activists, volunteers and financial contributors.
Central Committee members have the official responsibility to fill vacancies of certain offices due to death or resignation of elected official, and fill vacancy when no Democratic Candidate has filed for nomination. The Central Committee also recommends to the Governor appointment of the members and substitutes members for the local County Board of Elections and at times recommendations to other state and county boards.
CCDCC members must bring to the committee a strong commitment to the Democratic Party and all it stands for. They must support all Democratic candidates in the General Election. Central Committee members should have active and recent experience in various political activities, have actively worked for candidates, or have managed campaigns.
