In a year when many rural Democratic organizations struggled just to hold ground, the Alleghany County Democratic Committee chose to rebuild, reconnect, and show up.

​

After being dormant for several years, we re-convened and re-established ourselves as an active, visible organization. We built a public presence from the ground up—launching a website and Facebook page with integrated content, and establishing a regular email broadcast schedule that continues to grow in reach and engagement. These tools now keep members and supporters informed consistently, not just at election time.

​

We strengthened our foundation by holding regular meetings with written minutes, updating our by-laws, and electing officers committed to transparency and accountability.

We also made ourselves visible in the community—through signage reflecting the impact of the 2024 presidential election on our rural region, increased Democratic presence across the county, participation in Fridays in the Forge, and a well-attended rally featuring Ken Mitchell with thoughtful follow-up shared online. We welcomed speakers from neighboring Democratic committees and strengthened regional connections.

​

We encouraged participation and leadership—supporting write-in candidates, organizing canvassing efforts for Abigail Spanberger, and nominating new officers with clearly defined roles. Most importantly, we laid the groundwork for 2026 by proposing committees with measurable goals.

​

2025 was a year of rebuilding.
2026 is a year of momentum.
