What is the DCCC?

Q: What is the San Francisco DCCC?

The San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) is the governing board for the San Francisco Democratic Party. Made up of 24 voting members and additional ex-officio members (state and national elected officials from SF), the DCCC is elected by and represents nearly 300,000 San Francisco Democrats.

And if Democratic County Central Committee sounds like a mouthful, that’s because it is! So most people call it the “D-Triple-C.”​

Q: What districts does the DCCC represent?

San Francisco is split into 2 State Assembly districts: Assembly District 17 (AD-17), the east side of San Francisco and Assembly District 19 (AD-19), the west side of San Francisco.

Of the 24 voting members, 14 represent the east side on AD-17 and 10 represent the west side on AD-19. Natalie Gee is running to represent AD-19.

Q: What does the DCCC do?

The DCCC ensures that San Francisco Democrats have an affirmative, inclusive, and progressive voice on the issues that matter most!

By making endorsements of candidates and ballot measures, taking a stance on pressing issues like climate justice and reproductive rights by passing resolutions, and organizing and registering Democrats, the DCCC serves as the local face of the national Democratic Party.

Q: Why is the DCCC important?

Because the key to ensuring that our San Francisco values are heard throughout the nation is to build a strong, active, and diverse Democratic Party right here in San Francisco!

When San Francisco Democrats take a position on a policy, march in the streets, and help elect Corporate-Free Democrats, the country takes notice. Our local party has national impact.

Q: But we’re all Democrats in San Francisco, so why does it matter who serves on the DCCC?

The DCCC should be representative of the next-generation of Democratic leadership. Candidates for the DCCC should be able to point to their past experience to demonstrate that they will prioritize equity and justice during their terms.

The Democratic Party should be on the side of working-people, not backed by corporations and billionaires.
