2024 Reorganization Meeting
Per the Missouri Democratic Party bylaws, we must reorganize our county committee every two years between the 2nd Tuesday and 2nd Saturday after the August Primary election. This reorganization must take place in our county seat.
At the reorganization meeting, we elect a new Executive Committee which consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer for the CCDCC. The Chair and the Vice-Chair (one male and one female) must be committee people on the CCDCC. The Secretary and Treasurer (one male and one female) do not need to be committee people.
Since the 55th and the 56th Legislative Districts lie completely within the boundaries of Cass County. The committee members within those legislative districts will meet separately to elect a Chair and a Vice-Chair of their respective districts.
-If due to extenuating circumstances, you cannot attend this meeting, you may give your proxy to another committee member.
-No committee person can carry more than 2 proxies.
-The regular August business meeting will take place after the election of new officers.
-You must be a committee member to vote.

MDP Endorses VP Kamala Harris for President
Last night by zoom meeting, just hours after President Biden passed the torch to Vice President Harris, the Missouri Democratic Party State Committee unanimously endorsed and all Missouri Biden Delegates endorsed Kamala Harris for President.
“First, we’d like to thank President Biden for listening to the American people and making this selfless decision to put America first. The conversation we will continue to have around our Democratic values as we nominate our candidate will only continue to generate excitement and enthusiasm and will re-engage voters. Vice President Kamala Harris is exactly the candidate we need at exactly the moment we need her to beat Donald Trump and his Project 2024 Agenda,” said Missouri Democratic Party Chairman Russ Carnahan.
“President Biden believed that choosing Kamala Harris as Vice President was one of the best decisions he made. His decision to endorse Harris for President has shot a lightning bolt of energy across our country, creating an outpouring of support, volunteers, and small dollar donations. With only 104 days until the election, it was both urgent and critical for Missouri Democrats to unify quickly, and we did that enthusiastically, becoming one of the earliest Democratic State Parties to do so.”
“Missouri has one of the most extreme, near-total abortion bans in the country, which cruelly does not make exceptions in cases of rape or incest, and overturning this ban will be on the Ballot in November. Republican politicians reaffirmed their commitment to their extremism and cruelty this legislative session by blocking a Democratic amendment to Missouri’s near- total abortion ban that would have carved out exceptions for cases of rape and incest. Every Republican voted against this amendment.”
“Heading into November, Missouri Democrats are well positioned to present a strong case to Missouri voters about what is at stake this election and highlight our solutions to address the critical issues facing our communities. The excitement this conversation and a Harris candidacy brings will only propel us forward.”
