History: Ohio Democratic Party
For more than 200 years, the Democratic Party has represented the interests of working families, fighting for equal opportunities and justice for men, women and children of all colors, beliefs and social backgrounds. Party founders believed that wealth and social status were not an entitlement to rule, but rather that a stable government could only be successful if built upon a broad, popular base of the people.

Ohio Democratic Party
Former state Representative Kathleen Clyde was elected as the next Ohio Democratic Party chair. Clyde was elected by members of the party’s State Executive Committee. “I’m grateful to Ohio Democrats for putting their trust in me during this critical election cycle, and I’m looking forward to getting to work,” Clyde said in a statement. “With every statewide office and a U.S. Senate race on the ballot, Ohio has key opportunities to elect Democrats who actually work for Ohioans and get our state back on the right track.” Congratulations Chairwoman Clyde!
Democratic National Committee
Established at the 1848 Democratic National Convention, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is the principal organization governing the United States Democratic Party on a day-to-day basis. While it is responsible for overseeing the process of writing a platform every four years, the DNC’s central focus is on campaign and political activity in support of Democratic Party candidates, and not on public policy. The DNC is committed to electing Democrats at every level — from the school board to the Oval Office. But we can only do that together.
