Let Us Know How You Can Help
Committee members and Volunteers! Please fill out our Volunteer Interest Form and become and active part of the Suffolk Democratic Committee operations:
Can you Provide Supporter Housing?
Staffers and supporters for our Coordinated Campaign need places to live until the election, and short-term housing in Suffolk is nearly impossible to find. Do you have a spare bedroom they can use? You don't need to feed them, and you will rarely see them as they work long hours -- but your hospitality would be a priceless gift to these young people.
Please use our Contact Form to let us know
