If you would like to make a difference in local, state and national politics, joining the Hunter Mill District Democratic Committee is a great first step. By joining HMDDC you will also be joining the Fairfax County Democratic Committee and have a voice in the decisions that affect the party here in Fairfax County.
Here is how the process works:
It's a good idea to attend an HMDDC meeting. Beginning January 2008, meetings will be the third Thursday of each month.
January, March, May, July, September and November meetings are precinct operations meetings, where we work on strategy and the mechanics of mounting effective election activities on behalf of Democratic candidates running in the district.
February, April, June, August, October and December are the months in which we meet formally to discuss and vote on committee related issues and activities.
Anyone interested in the committee's work may attend any meeting.
If you decide you would like to join the committee, an application is available here.
Give or mail the application (along with your membership fee -- $35 for one year, $50 for two) to one of our co-chairs.
At the next meeting your application will be voted on by the membership and if approved, will also be voted on by the full FCDC membership at its next meeting.
HMDDC has a fixed number of membership slots, but new members are always welcome, provided we have slots available.
The responsibilities that come with committee membership are not many, but they are important. We ask that members commit to attending the monthly meetings and volunteer some time for our official activities, such as participating in get out the vote efforts, voter registration efforts, etc. Members also canvas neighborhoods on behalf of candidates, man phone banks and other campaign activities.
If being a full member of the committee is not for you, we have many volunteer opportunities available, as well.
