Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Whitman County Democratic Central Committee is responsible for the political organization and activity of the Democratic Party in Whitman County. The main duties of the committee are fundraising and canvassing, along with representing the county at state conventions.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Records of the Whitman County Democratic Committee consist of minutes, platforms, vote lists, and subject files. The records span the years 1948-1980, but appear to be incomplete. For example, the years 1948-1954, 1972-1976, and 1977 on are covered by little material. However, the years 1954-1972, and 1976 are well represented.
