Who We Are

The Webster Democratic Committee is a group of dedicated volunteers committed to electing and supporting Democrats in office. 

Our mission is to empower our local government to uphold Democratic values and support common sense policies that enable our community and our residents to thrive. 

We are an affiliate of the Monroe County Democratic Committee and work with officials across the county to ensure the needs and goals of Webster residents are heard. 

What We Do

We get Democrats elected. 

We identify, cultivate, and support Democratic candidates at the local, state, and national levels. We are the body that officially designates candidates for offices in Webster and Monroe County, ensuring Democrats are on the ballot every year. 

We support candidates once they are elected and ensure they stay responsive to our needs.
