Authority

Local Democratic Central Committees represent the Maryland Democratic Party within their political subdivisions and shall perform such functions as required by the laws of the State of Maryland, the Charter and Bylaws of the Democratic Party of the United States, and the Constitution and Bylaws of the Maryland Democratic Party.

Responsibilities

Local Democratic Central Committees shall promote the interest of the Democratic Party and its candidates over those of opposing political parties and candidates. Each local Committee shall be responsible for drafting a two year work plan for each election cycle held during its term. This plan, which shall be submitted to the State Chair, will detail the Committee's efforts to build the local party and support its candidates over the two year period between General Elections. Each local Committee keeps a current copy of its Constitution and Bylaws on file locally and at the Maryland Democratic Party headquarters.

Ethics Code

Members of the Democratic State Central Committee of Maryland are and shall be subject to the same substantive rules of ethical guidance as state public officials to assure that they shall at all times conduct themselves in a manner that reflects creditably upon the office that they serve, shall not use their office to gain special privileges and benefits, and shall refrain from action in their official capacities when their independence of judgment would be adversely affected by personal interests.

Membership

The Garrett County Democratic Central Committee is a body of eight members, and by requirement of both the National Committee and the Maryland Committee, seats are divided equally at fifty percent male and fifty percent female.
