MCDCC Seeks At-Large Member (Female/Non-binary)

The Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee (MCDCC) has an open seat for a female/non-binary member at-large, representing the entire county, who resides in Maryland District 9A, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20. The application deadline is 11:59 pm on Friday, January 23, 2026. The successful candidate will complete an unexpired term ending in November 2026.

Eligibility

Candidates for this position must:

  • Identify as female or non-binary.
  • As of the date of the appointment, be registered to vote as a member of the Democratic Party in Maryland District 9A, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20.

Gender balance rules dictate that that MCDCC may have no more than four at-large MCDCC members identifying as having the same gender, of eight at-large MCDCC members. There are currently 4 male and 3 female at-large members. The open seat must be filled by a female or non-binary member.

Democratic Party geographic diversity rules stipulate that there may not be more than two at-large members from any single district. Applicants from Districts 15 and 39 are ineligible because we currently have two seated at-large members from each of those districts.
