The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is the formal governing body for the United States Democratic Party of which we, the Whitfield County Democratic Committee, are affiliated through the DPG. There are several core beliefs that tie our party together. Democrats believe that we’re greater together than we are on our own – that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules.
