WHO WE ARE

The Beaufort County Democratic Party (BCDP) is the political party for anyone who identifies as a Democrat or caucuses with the Democratic Party in the county.  Since individuals in South Carolina do not register by a political party, there is no official membership in any political party.

 

In Beaufort County, many of the Democratic activities are hosted by one of four clubs including monthly meetings and special events.  There is a nominal fee to join one of the Democratic Clubs.  In addition, there is a Young Democrats Chapter affiliated with the County Party.

The mission of the BCDP is to elect Democrats to local, county, state, and federal office; to raise funds to support those candidates, and to further the platform of the Democratic Party in our local community.  The BCDP hosts social events, educational forums, training, fundraisers, and conducts a biannual county convention.

The BCDP is governed by an Executive Committee comprised of elected and appointed officers and precinct executive committee members  from each of Beaufort County’s 95 precincts.  The BCDP Executive Committee meets the first Tuesday of every month at the Thomas Barnwell Administration Building in Okatie, S.C. with a 5:30 PM social hour and 6:00 – 8:00 PM meeting.
