Overview

The Riverside County Democratic Party is dedicated to fighting for a brighter, more equitable future by rolling up our sleeves and organizing in every corner of Riverside County. Our mission is to build a better California for all, ensuring that every voice is heard and represented. By focusing on the unique needs and challenges of our diverse communities, we strive to create meaningful change and foster a more inclusive, just society.

Our Mission

The Riverside County Democratic Party will develop and support progressive Democratic candidates for office, increase Democratic voter registration and turnout, while maximizing fund-raising efforts for these purposes.

Voter Registration

Throughout the year, in every community of Riverside County, we are diligently registering new Democrats to vote. Voter registration is a crucial first step in increasing political engagement and ensuring that every voice is heard. By signing up new voters, we empower individuals to participate in the democratic process, influence policy decisions, and shape the future of our community. Thanks to our dedicated efforts in recent years, Democrats now outnumber Republicans in the county, reflecting our commitment to expanding and energizing our voter base.

Precinct Organizing

The RCDP has established the Neighbor 2 Neighbor Program to enlist passionate Democrats as Neighborhood Reps. In this volunteer role, they serve as trusted advisors and mobilizers within their communities. This position empowers them to connect with fellow Democrats, encourage civic engagement, and boost voter turnout.

Neighborhood Reps work closely with the Riverside County Democratic Party’s Political Action Committee, spearheading organizing activities within their assigned precincts. By becoming Neighborhood Reps, they foster a stronger sense of community and drive positive change at the grassroots level.

Candidate Support

We have a comprehensive plan to recruit, train, and support strong Democratic candidates at all levels, including local offices like city councils, school boards, and special districts. Additionally, we work closely with local, regional, and state Democratic groups to support existing campaigns. This dual approach ensures that we are not only building a robust bench of future leaders but also providing crucial support to current Democratic candidates to help them succeed.

GOTV

The RCDP is engaged in a long-term strategic plan to increase voter turnout. This perennial effort will outlast the current campaign cycle and will focus on building a stronger, more engaged voter base.
