What is the MCDCC?

The Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee (or MCDCC) is the governing body of the local Democratic Party in Maryland's largest and most diverse county. We represent Democrats in and beyond election years, working with the Precinct Organization to determine official party positions on local issues and provide an accessible and equitable platform for our voters to connect with their elected officials and learn about local politics.

​

Crucially, the MCDCC also nominates Democrats to fill vacancies in the Maryland General Assembly whenever a Democratic vacancy arises in Montgomery County between election cycles under Article III, Section 13 of the Maryland Constitution. Approximately 40% of Montgomery County's members in the General Assembly were first appointed to their seat, making this a very powerful tool of the Central Committee. Andrew believes that this power should ultimately rest with the residents of a District, but he recognizes that the only General Assembly has the power to make the structural changes necessary to improve this process and he pledges to use this power to create a pipeline for experienced, hard-working candidates who reflect the vision, values, and life experiences of the communities they seek to represent. Andrew has and will continue to support efforts to improve the existing constitutional process on the Central Committee.

 

The MCDCC is composed of 26 members, 2 members from each of the 8 and 1/2 districts in Montgomery County, plus 8 at-large members. The Central Committee is divided evenly by gender as no two members from any one district and no more than 4 at-large members may be of the same gender. This requirement ensures that our party is reflective of the voters it represents. Andrew is the Secretary and an at-large member from District 15. He previously served as Treasurer for 3 years.
