Our Central Committee is the governing body of the County Democratic Party as defined in the California Government Code and Elections Code. It is comprised of local Democrats elected by voters in each Assembly District during Presidential Election years, as well as partisan-level Democratic elected officials and nominees. (For more information, see our Bylaws and Policies & Procedures.) 

​This group conducts the County Party's general business, approves its budget, coordinates Democratic campaign activity, and endorses candidates for local offices. 

​The times and dates of upcoming Central Committee meetings are posted on our calendar. 

Central Committee members in the East, Metro West, North Coastal, North Inland, and South Areas of the county also meet periodically in their respective regions; dates, times and locations of upcoming Area meetings are posted on our calendar.  To view a map of our Central Committee Areas, click here.
