The Democratic Party is the world's oldest active party, being founded in 1828. The Party organization consists of three tiers: National, State, and County.  Collectively, the Party works together to elect Local, State and Federal Democrats.

​

The Democratic Party is led at the national level by the Democratic National Committee (DNC).  The following are just a few of the roles of the DNC:

• Plan the Party's presidential nominating convention

• Promote the Democratic platform

• Raise money, hire staff, and coordinate strategy to support candidates

​

At the State level is the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, which is governed by the Democratic State Committee.  Founded in 1792, the Committee is responsible for directing and promoting the guiding principles and core values of the institution. Find out more about the State Committee.
