WELCOME TO THE PARTY!
We are the Union County, NC Democratic Party!
The Union County Democratic Party (UCDP) promotes the election of local, state, and national Democratic Party candidates throughout Union County. We are fighting for a better, fairer, and brighter future for every Union County resident: rolling up our sleeves, empowering grassroots volunteers, and organizing everywhere to flip Union County and take back our county, state, and country.
We encourage all registered Democrats to become active with us to help us achieve a more liberal and progressive future.
