ASDC Leadership

Mission Statement

Strong state Democratic Parties are vital to the success of the Democratic Party in the United States of America. The ASDC is the only national party organization focused exclusively on the current and future needs of state Democratic Parties, assisting them to fulfill their vital role.

The ASDC’s mission is to help build strong state Democratic Parties in order to elect Democrats at all levels of office. To accomplish this goal, the ASDC focuses on building strong, stable, and sustainable infrastructure for all 57 state parties. It acts as a service organization dedicated to supporting and educating its members, building strong relationships with and among state parties, and using training to equip our members with the tools and skills they need to succeed.

Located within the Democratic National Committee, the ASDC represents state party interests at the DNC, as well as within the wider Democratic and progressive ecosystem. The Association engages in this critical work to ensure that state parties have the tools and resources they need to elect those who share our values, will make a difference in our communities, and will improve people’s lives.

Membership

The ASDC is comprised of all state chairs and vice chairs from the 50 states, as well as American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Democrats Abroad, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
