YOU CAN BE A DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE PERSON IN YOUR HOME PRECINCT!

For precincts in the Big Spring Area, we have openings for Committee Persons in ALL jurisdictions except Newville's South Borough. We can elect two Democratic Precinct Committee Persons (PCPs) for each of our 12 precincts. The term is four years. Serving as a Democratic PCP is an easy way to help the County Committee support and elect Democratic candidates.

In addition to providing information to voters in your precinct, you can also help out on County subcommittees, such as Communications, Fundraising, Building, Voter Registration, Candidate Recruitment, and more. PCPs are voting members of the Cumberland County Democratic Committee. The western end of the County is currently severely under-represented. Please help us engage Big Spring voters!
