ABOUT OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY

 

The Democratic Party is the Party of the People.

 

The Ohio Democratic Party (ODP) recognizes and collaborates with the Trumbull County Democratic Party

as the official county level Democratic organization. 

 

Steeped and committed to Democratic principles, Trumbull County can be proud of our rich history as Democrats.

 

At most levels, the Democratic Party is comprised almost entirely of volunteers who rely primarily

on financial donations to fund Party work.
