Party Documents

The Washington State Democratic Central Committee (WSDCC) is the body that conducts business for the Washington State Democratic Party. They hold meetings about once a quarter, where they pass resolutions, elect officers, make endorsements, and conduct other Party business. Every two years, the Washington State Democratic Party holds a State Convention, where delegates to the convention gather to conduct further Party business.

This page contains some of the documents produced by the WSDCC and State Convention delegates. These documents define the Washington State Democratic Party.

Below, please find statements of full participation with the WSDCC Affirmative Action goals from the Democratic candidates for President who submitted a statement by the deadline provided to all campaigns. If a candidate's statement does not appear here it is because that campaign has not submitted one.

Please note that Mayor Bill De Blasio, Gov. Steve Bullock, former Rep. John Delaney, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Mayor Wayne Messam, and Rep. Tim Ryan have not submitted a statement of full participation with the WSDCC Affirmative Action goals.
