What does the DEC do?
Our ultimate goal is to get Democrats elected to public office, and we have a blast doing it! We are also active outside of the election cycle, engaging in a variety of fun and rewarding activities:
- We research candidates in non-partisan elections to determine if and who we should support.
- Through the Florida Democratic Party, we follow the legislative sessions in Tallahassee to support bills that help Florida residents and campaign against those that do not.
- We make use of social media for local, state, and national issues.
- We provide speakers to groups who want to learn more about our causes.
- We partner with other groups with similar goals, thereby magnifying everyone’s effect.
- We write and distribute a weekly newsletter, write letters to editors, and issue press releases.
- We attend local government meetings and speak out about current issues.
- And to support all this, we fundraise!
How can YOU become a PCP?
The process is fairly straightforward. There are a few forms to complete, some of which must be notarized. These forms are turned in to the DEC Credentials Committee, which validates them and submits the required forms to the Polk County Supervisor of Elections (SOE).
*Returning PCPs must also complete forms to be qualified for another term.
All forms must be submitted to the SOE during the Qualifying Period, June 10 – June 14, 2024.
