Ohio Progressive Democrats

Strong Unions and Workers’ Rights. Due Process. A Democracy that Truly Represents the People. Even if you’ve never been heavily involved in the party, if you agree with these values, this caucus is for you. Click the button for an Engagement Form.

Become a Precinct Captain
Do you know how Democrats have successfully organized in the past?
It's not from relying on National Dems or big candidates.
It's been with people like you and me making a difference one neighbor at a time. This is the grass roots organizing that Stacy Abrams et al have had success with in Georgia.
If you've been frustrated by Dems only reaching out for votes or donations, YOU can be part of the solution!
Find out what a Precinct Captain is and what it takes to be one here in Hancock County, Ohio.
We need activists like you to step up to be a voice for our sound Democratic values and actions within our neighborhoods...plus share events and ways to support our local candidates.
By organizing each neighborhood, each voting precinct, we can successfully reach so many more neighbors than an email or social media post can.
If you feel like you're one of the only Dems in town, you should know there are over 8,000 of us. Just think of what we can do TOGETHER if we first get locally organized.
