The Democratic Club of the Monterey Peninsula can trace its roots to 1925, when the Democratic Women’s Club became the first Democratic Club west of the Mississippi. In 1995, the Democratic Women’s Club merged with the Peninsula Democratic Club to become the DCMP.
Throughout our history, the DCMP has never wavered from our stated purpose: to encourage the participation of local Democrats in national, state and local political and social issues; to support the candidacies of qualified Democrats for public office; and to provide and support an active organization to work for the nomination and election of Democratic candidates who will advance legislation addressing those political and social issues while respecting human equality and welfare, in harmony with the basic tenets of the Democratic Party.
