The Foundation of Local Leadership
The role of the PC (Precinct Committee Person) is at the core of political party activity. It's our ground game.
As a PC, you are a representative of the Arizona Democratic Party in your precinct or neighborhood.
The Power of Precincts
Elections are truly won or lost in precincts, and PCs are vital to ensuring strong Democratic support for Democratic candidates and issues.
Eligibility and Appointment
PCs are elected during the primary election and serve a two-year term. PCs can also be appointed by the Legislative District 23 Chair. Any registered Democrat is eligible to be a PC in the precinct where they live as long as they are willing to do the work!
How PCs Contribute
The primary role of the PCs for each precinct is to:
- Work together
- Serve as the connection between the Democratic Party, the voters, and our Democratic elected officials
- Represent your entire precinct within the party
