Representing Caln Township, West Brandywine Township, Downingtown Borough, and East Caln Township, PA.
We are your local Democrats.
Phone banking? Door knocking? Poll greeting?
That's us.
We are the local branch of your Democratic party, working hard and "thinking locally" to get Democrats elected to offices up and down the ticket.
The Chester County Democratic Committee of Pennsylvania is divided in 20 “zones,” each made up of a municipality or several municipalities. Zone 5 comprises Downingtown borough, Caln Township, West Brandywine Township, and East Caln Township.
Our elected committeepeople (two CPs per voting precinct) are the footsoldiers in our mission to elect Democrats countywide, up and down the ticket. We prepare and distribute sample ballots; research, vet, and endorse candidates; and assist voters in accessing information and polling places.
We are your neighbors, your faith community members, your friends. We donate our time and resources because we believe in Democratic values. We welcome your questions and your help!
