About the DNC
What We Do
The Democratic National Committee plans the Party's quadrennial presidential
nominating convention; promotes the election of Party candidates with both
technical and financial support; and works with national, state, and local
party organizations, elected officials, candidates, and constituencies to
respond to the needs and views of the Democratic electorate and the nation.
Our Chairman: Gov. Howard Dean
As Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Gov. Howard Dean is making
the Democratic Party competitive in every race, in every district, in every state
and territory, while integrating national and state party operations and standing
up for Democrats' core values. His election to this post on February 12, 2005
is the most recent chapter in a life dedicated to shaping the future of the
Democratic Party. Learn more about Gov. Howard Dean.
