Welcome to the Haywood Dems

Precinct Meetings Coming Soon

Precinct meetings for the Haywood County Democratic party will be held in the first two weeks of February. At your precinct meeting you will select precinct chairs for the next year, as well as delegates to the county convention. Another important task is to draft resolutions that will be presented at the county convention to recommend they become part of the party platform. The precinct is the grassroots of the Democratic Party. We want to get as many Democrats as possible engaged with the party. The 2019 elections are important to our county with a number of important local elections scheduled. We need to rally around our candidates in order to maintain a solid Democratic presence in Haywood County.

The Haywood County Democratic Convention is scheduled for Saturday, March 23 with March 30 as a snow date. and the District 11 Convention will be held on April 27. More information to follow.

Volunteer Appreciation Brunch

Our Volunteer Appreciation Brunch was a great success! On January 12, despite the threat of ice and snow, the Haywood Democrats hosted about 60 volunteer for a get-together over loads of delicious food to contribute ideas and suggestions for our county party going forward. We have compiled these ideas and will be working on strategies and information sessions for this year.
