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.
