Democratic Women of Wake CountyAuxillary Club

DWWC is an auxiliary group of the Wake County Democratic Party. DWWC volunteers work to support Democrats at every level. During each election cycle, DWWC contributes thousands of dollars to candidates and hosts numerous events to introduce candidates and their positions to hundreds of interested voters - members and guests alike. Fundraising, voter education and direct support of candidates are good reasons to join the club - but just as important to members are the fellowship and mutual support of women who take active roles in the political life and governance of North Carolina.
