How to become a member of or renew your membership in the 5th Legislative District Democrats of Washington State.
We are a community of Democrats who realize that electing leaders who share our values requires that we make a sincere effort to help Democrats get elected to local, state and national posts.
Dues cover our annual operating expenses. Additional donations help us support our endorsed candidates through campaign contributions and our Get Out the Vote mailer.
To vote at a General Membership Meeting, members must join at least 21 days prior to the meeting. These meetings take place on the third Wednesday of each month via Zoom.
You can become a member or renew your membership by declaring yourself a Democrat and paying dues. However, to be eligible to vote on membership rules and to endorse candidates, you must live inside the boundaries of the 5th LD. You can confirm your LD with King County Elections here.
