About Newton Dems
Leading Progress in Newton and Beyond
Overview:
On behalf of Newton Democratic City Committee, welcome to our website. The NDCC brings people together who are interested in politics, progressive causes and grassroots organizing in Newton. Consisting of members of Newton's eight active Ward Committees, NDCC activists are the foundation of local, state and national political campaigns.
Ward Committee members and leaders are elected every four years as part of the Democratic presidential primary, or appointed interim to fill vacancies. To join the NDCC, contact your Ward leader (click here for their info) to become member or associate member, or stay tuned via email updates, Twitter, Facebook, or our live TV series.
NDCC members vote on policy initiatives, run door-to-door campaigns, and coordinate fundraising and other grassroots efforts with local, state and national campaigns. On a regular basis, NDCC members have access to one-on-one conversations with officials from City Hall, the State House and Congress. Voicing their opinions and taking action on a host of issues, NDCC members gain valuable experience in government and grassroots organizing.
