Thank you one and all for participating in and supporting our summer get-out-the-vote fundraiser (Summer Soiree) and our Ditch Mitch activity days.  Our efforts to connect with over 5,000 registered Democratic voters in Newport Beach and Eastside Costa Mesa have resulted in growing our membership, moving closer to our fundraising goal, and mailing almost 2,000 postcards to Kentucky voters showing our solidarity in their efforts to unseat “Moscow Mitch”. 

We’re not done yet.  We look forward to meeting more of you in the months ahead through our canvassing efforts and additional events, all of which lead us to greater Democratic wins in the 2020 elections.  If you would like to support our important Get Out The Vote efforts, please consider making a donation today.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a forum for civil political discussions and promote and participate in activities that help educate members about local, regional, and national issues.

Our Club

The Newport Beach Women’s Democratic Club was formed by a small group of like-minded Democratic women who were brought together by their desire for civil discussion around political issues. Within a short time, our club grew and became a notable presence in the Orange County Democratic community.

We promote democratic values through activism.  Our work includes get-out-the-vote efforts, presence at community events, and sponsoring forums for Democratic candidates as well as candidates for non-partisan offices.  We also speak publicly and take part in demonstrations. 

Club membership is open to women who are registered Democrats.  We also welcome registered Democratic men as non-voting associates.  While most members live in Newport Beach, we also value those from surrounding Orange County communities.

At our meetings and events, we welcome those who wish to be benefactors of our Club regardless of party affiliation.

For more information about our Club and Membership, please fill out the Contact Us Form above.
