Dutchess Democratic Women’s Caucus
The Dutchess Democratic Women’s Caucus (DDWC) is a proactive grassroots organization dedicated to helping identify, train and elect qualified female Democrats to public office at the state, county, city, town, and village levels and to encourage every woman Democrat to become politically active.
​
Since our founding, we have helped more than 300 Dutchess County women seek public office by providing campaign workshops, one-on-one mentoring, community events and financial support.

THE FUTURE IS FEMALE!
"Since the day I ran for political office, my motto is 'Poughkeepsie before politics...I vow that I will work hard to make sure decisions will be based on what is best for Poughkeepsie."

How you can get involved
Educate yourself on community issues by attending town hall meetings, engaging in local forums, and listening to neighbors' concerns. Volunteering for campaigns or civic organizations, through activities like canvassing or event planning, can also significantly impact your community.
