Welcome to the new Shelby County Democratic Party website. Updating this site has been a long time coming. This site represents the first of many exciting changes that we are working to implement to reach out to and engage Democrats all over Shelby County.

The strength of the Shelby County Democratic Party is in its people, and we are exploring ways to engage and activate Democrats all over the county. Over the coming months we will be ramping up our Facebook Page and building an email list to inform interested Democrats about the activities of the Party.

As you know, Democrats are the minority party in Tennessee. While Shelby County held on to all our Democratic representatives and Senators in the Tennessee General Assembly in the 2010 cycle, the upcoming state redistricting will likely make that job harder. We have a lot of hard work ahead of us to respond to that challenge.

To that end, we are working on creating more opportunities for people to get involved with the party. Many of those are in the planning stages now and will be announced in the coming months.

In order to win in 2012, we have to be willing to invest our time and money in the party, and the candidates it supports. You can contribute electronically or by check here. If you have more time than money and are interested in volunteering with the party, fill out the form here and one of our volunteer coordinators will contact you.

Thank you for taking the time to visit. With your help we can help build a bright future for both Shelby County, and Tennessee.
