Step up today! Become a Precinct Chair/Precinct Committee Person

HamCo Dems continue to organize. Here’s your chance to help bring your community together for next year’s crucial midterm elections.

A Precinct Chair, or PC, is a critical position in the statewide structure of the Democratic Party in Indiana. The PC serves as the person elected or appointed to organize the voters in their own precinct, making this an official position of importance to the party. They help voters get involved, ensure that precinct positions are filled on election days, and make sure Democratic-leaning voters come out to vote. It’s a crucial role in uniting our voters and helping them work together most effectively. 

New township leadership

Earlier this year, Carmel PC and Clay Township Chair Susan Ring was appointed to the new position of Deputy Chair for Hamilton County’s Elections Committee. In her new role, she will be leading our county’s township leaders as they seek to appoint more PCs in their townships. Her guidance and support will give our PCs focus and networks that will ensure their success.

Precinct Chair Meetings

Under Susan's direction, the townships are in the process of having a series of meetings where they’ll discuss what PCs do and help get new and aspiring PC up and running, as well as re-inspire current PCs.

• Carmel’s meeting will be Sunday, August 3, at 2pm at the Carmel Clay Public Library (sign up here). 

• Noblesville’s meeting will be Thursday, August 14, at 7pm (sign up here).

• For anyone in the county who missed their township’s meeting, there will be another PC meeting on August 27 at 6pm at the Carmel Clay Public Library (signup link to come).

Fishers and Westfield had their meetings earlier in July, and attendees agreed they were a big success. “What an excellent and organized meeting for both curious and existing precinct chairs,” said one Fishers attendee. “Everyone cares so much.” 

Boots on the ground

The 2026 midterm elections are coming more quickly than you may think, and candidates on the opposing side who can see the wind blowing against their party's irresponsible and harmful decisions are assembling their troops now for an intense contest.

Meanwhile, Democrats across Hamilton County are feeling the groundswell of excitement around our party. We are seeing growing attendance at events. We're hearing louder support at protests and celebrations. We're fielding increases in donations to both local party committees and the state party. And most importantly, we're encountering more openness to our principles and ideas in public discourse. We are hungry to win, but we need your boots on the ground to march us forward!

When we share in the work, we accomplish more together. We hope we'll see you at an upcoming PC meeting, where we can direct your energy into real action that helps us win elections.
