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.

The mission of the BCDP is to elect Democrats to local, county, state, and federal office, and to further the platform of the Democratic Party in our local community.  The BCDP hosts social events, educational forums, training, fundraisers, and conducts an annual 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 126 precincts. 

 

The BCDP Executive Committee meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 6:00 PM. 

Please see the Calendar and Events page for details.
