Welcome to the Chesapeake Democratic Committee
There are several core beliefs that tie our party together. Democrats believe that we’re greater together than we are on our own — that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. Our party is focused on building an economy that lifts up all Americans, not just those at the top.
That’s why Democrats are working to make progress on issues like job creation, equal pay, education, health care, and clean energy.
These are the ONLY 2026 Chesapeake Democratic Committee Endorsed Candidates.
Poll Greeters Needed
Volunteers are always needed. One of most important volunteer opportunities is to serve as a “Poll Greeter.”
What is a poll greeter? A community volunteer that helps hand out our unofficial sample ballot during early voting and on election day. This is one of the easiest ways to help during the election season.
Why this matters? Not every race on a ballot is marked with the party affiliation (Democrat, Republican, Independent). Our unofficial sample ballot informs voters who are the Democratic candidates on the ticket as well as locals candidates (e.g., city council, school board) who are endorsed by the Democratic Party.
How do I volunteer? If your already on our e-mail distribution listing, you’re good – the email are coming! If you’re not on the distribution listing, consider contact our Election Chair, Rob Curran, at robertcurran@hotmail.com
The Chesapeake Democrats Beliefs
The Chesapeake Democratic Committee (CDC) is affiliated with the Democratic Party of Virginia. We support the ideals of the Democratic Party by engaging our citizens to use their talents, skills, and experience to work together to register our citizens to vote and to help them arrive at the polls on election day informed and ready to support our Democratic candidates.
We are more than a political organization. We are a community organization dedicated to upholding the democratic principles on which our nation was established. We believe an informed and engaged citizenry is vital to the continuance of freedom and the survival of these principles.
We promote and encourage participation of all citizens in our government. Every citizen must be allowed and encouraged to vote. Every vote is a voice, every voice should be heard.
We believe that public service is an honor and therefore, we must seek out candidates for office that are honorable and will serve in a manner worthy of the trust of those whom they serve.
It is our civic duty to build and maintain a strong Democratic organization capable of promoting our values throughout the City of Chesapeake and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
