Run for Office

Ready to Make a Difference?

Your community needs leaders like you, and running for office in Delaware County is one of the most powerful ways to create change. Whether the race is partisan or nonpartisan, the Delaware County Democratic Party is here to support you every step of the way.

Our party is growing stronger every year. Since 2018, our vote share has risen dramatically, and momentum is on our side.

Opportunities are everywhere:

  • Even years bring elections for precinct representatives, countywide offices, and State House seats.
  • Odd years focus on local races – townships, villages, city councils, and school boards.

No matter the year, there’s a race where your leadership can make an impact!
