Vote!
With fewer than a thousand people in our town, and a fairly equal number of Democrats and Republicans, every vote truly counts—especially in “odd-numbered years,” when there isn’t a large state or national election.
The fact of the matter is, conservative voters usually turn out in higher numbers for local elections. The most important thing you can do to elect Democrats in the Town of Kingston is vote!
Run for Office
As of now, the Town Board leans Republican. In the 2023 election, the Democratic Committee did not field a candidate for these offices.
We can’t elect Democrats unless we have Democrats to vote for! Do you think you have what it takes to run for public office? Let us know!
Volunteer
Help us get Democrats elected! By knocking on doors, making phone calls, writing post cards, or putting up yard signs, you can make a big difference in making sure your Democratic friends and neighbors get to the polls on Election Day.
Even if you don’t want to talk to strangers, there are plenty of ways to help out! If you want to get involved, drop us a line.
Donate
Of course, sometimes at the end of the day there’s no replacement for cold, hard American currency.
The Town of Kingston Democratic Committee is entirely volunteer run; everything we do is paid for out-of-pocket by its members and we do not receive funds from any hand-wavy “National Chapter.” Your donation could help offset costs such as printing stickers, pins, and signs; renting equipment for events; and maintaining this website.
