What Do Central Committee Members Do?
Central Committee members are the people who do the real work of winning elections. They’re not writing laws — they’re organizing the community.
That means knocking on doors, registering voters, making phone calls, raising money, recruiting volunteers, and supporting Democratic candidates. It’s precinct-by-precinct, neighborhood-by-neighborhood work that turns turnout into victory.
Members also attend monthly local meetings and semi-annual statewide meetings, where they vote on issues that shape the direction of the Maryland Democratic Party. They help set priorities, adopt resolutions, and make decisions about party rules and operations.
Central Committee members also have important official responsibilities. If an elected office becomes vacant due to resignation or death, the Committee plays a role in filling that seat. They also recommend appointments to the county Board of Elections and other local boards, helping shape how our local democracy functions.
What Happens at Meetings?
The Committee meets once a month to conduct party business and coordinate organizing efforts.
Meetings typically include:
Updates from elected officials
Reports on canvassing, fundraising, and volunteer efforts
Votes on resolutions that express the party’s priorities
Decisions on party rules, bylaws, and budget matters
All meetings follow structured parliamentary procedure to ensure fairness and equal opportunity to speak.
Who Can Run?
Any registered Democrat in Maryland can run for their county’s Central Committee.
You don’t need a political resume. You need commitment, consistency, and a willingness to organize. The best members are people who can motivate volunteers, build relationships, and show up month after month to do the work.
Why It Matters
Elections are won locally. The Central Committee connects voters to candidates and turns community energy into electoral results.
Without strong organizing at the precinct level, nothing else works. That’s why this role matters — and why I’m running.

Through co-founding Beyond Partisan, I've worked on election reform across 15 states and partnered with organizations like Unite America and the Stanford Deliberative Democracy Lab. I've seen how small changes to our electoral systems can make democracy more accessible and representative. I'll bring this experience to support transparency initiatives, champion small-dollar fundraising tools that help Democratic candidates compete, and advocate for reforms that make it easier for everyday Marylanders to participate in the political process. When we modernize how campaigns are funded and how elections are run, we build a stronger Democratic Party and a healthier democracy.
