Franklin County Democratic Party

Central Committee Candidates - 2020

The 2020 Primary on March 17th is also  an election for the representatives of the 6 Wards in Upper Arlington to the Ohio Democratic Party Central Committee. Some are contested and some are not. Some are endorsed by the Franklin County Democratic Party (FCDP), some are not. UAPA requested all candidates to submit a brief statement if they wished so you can become familiar with people who help guide our local Democratic Party. Providing this information to you does not constitute an endorsement by UAPA.
 

Apply for Vacant UA Positions on the FCDP Executive Committee

Along with a number of at large members, every ward in Franklin County is entitled to a representative on the Executive Committee of the Franklin County Democratic Party (FCDP).

Of the seven wards in Upper Arlington, Wards 4 and 5 will become vacant in 2020. We at UAPA want UA to be fully represented in the councils of the county party, so we encourage YOU to consider running for one of these seats.

The FCDP Needs Your Help!

The Franklin County Democratic Party is in need of volunteers to help us answer the phones at Party headquarters.  We're getting a large number of phone calls from voters seeking information.  We don't want to miss these important phone calls at this time of the year.  If we can't help voters we may not get their vote.
 
We're also getting phone calls for voters who may need transportation to the polls.  We have a long list of drivers who are more than willing to make sure every person has a chance to cast their ballot, but we need help matching voters to drivers.
 
If you can help even for a couple hours per day, we'd really appreciate it.  We especially need people on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  This would only be until after the election.
 
If you can help the Democrats in Franklin County, please call 614-229-5286 or e-mail us at franklincountydemocraticparty@gmail.com.
 
We're located at 545 E. Town Street.  There is free parking available in the teamster’s parking lot on Walnut Street behind our headquarters.  Please help us to educate and keep our voters!
