Local Clubs and Caucuses

The Democratic Party of St Johns County consists of the Democratic Executive Committee (DEC) and a network of local community-based clubs.  Each is committed to registering voters, increasing Democratic voter participation in elections, and improving voter awareness of issues through informative meetings and social gatherings.  Take a moment to read about the DEC and the club or clubs of interest to you.

We invite you to visit us at any of the upcoming meetings (see the Calendar for the latest events). We welcome and encourage your participation. 

Democratic Executive Committee
Hastings Democratic Club
When a number of residents of Hastings realized that they enjoyed working together during the 2012 Presidential campaign, the result was the organization of the new Hastings Democratic Club.   Since their formation in January 2013, they have organized neighborhood cleanups on the third Saturday of each month, and both a Fish Fry Fundraiser and a pancake breakfast at Johnny and Beanies Restaurant.  Members of the club volunteer at the Democratic Headquarters  and have been very supportive of various Democratic activities.

The meetings are held at the Gethsemane Church, 317 Daniels St., Hastings monthly on the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 PM.  For more information contact President Carol Holtz, 386-546-1997.
St Augustine Democratic Club
The St. Augustine Democratic Club is being reorganized and we are in the process to receive certification for the club.  Monthly meetings are held via Zoom at 7:00 PM on the second Tuesday of the month.
