Support your 43rd District Democrats by becoming a member, renewing your membership, or making a donation today.

Our annual membership dues are $25 for an individual or $43 for two people living in the same household. We also offer a $10 reduced rate for those on a reduced income, no questions asked.

Note: Renewing members can pay dues day of meeting. For new members dues must be paid 10 days prior to the meeting to receive voting rights.

What does my membership support?

Dues go toward the costs associated with running the 43rd District Democrats, getting out the vote, and supporting our endorsed candidates and campaigns.

Running costs include our online presence (this website, remote meeting participation) and location rental for in-person meetings, events, and forums. Supporting endorsed candidates includes printing and mailing literature, phonebanking, and text-banking.

How about campaigns?

The 43rd District Democrats only give to campaigns through our PAC. Governed by our resolutions and bylaws, the PAC uses membership funds explicitly for compliance and in-kind support of our endorsed candidates, such as printed endorsement sheets for door-knocking or mail to voters. We cannot give direct contributions.

Is my contribution tax deductible?

No, these contributions are considered political donations.

I'm living lightly right now—is there a way to still participate and have voting rights?

We are not interested in sidelining Democrats who are unable to pay annual dues at the full amount. Contact our chair – chair@43rddems.org – about opportunities to contribute in other ways to earn full voting rights. 

I'm a PCO—do I still have to contribute?

The costs associated with our training events for PCOs, and more generally for the organization, are continuous. While PCOs enjoy voting rights by virtue of being PCOs, we always encourage PCOs to become members.
