ABOUT US

Our Charter

The Curry County Democrats is the highest authority in county party policies. This body has the authority to adopt rules (called Bylaws) or resolutions covering any matter of party government within the county. Additionally, this is the body that establishes the policies, articulates the beliefs, and establishes the standard of all local Democratic candidates. These basic policies, beliefs, and standards are then passed on to the State and National party for action.

The Curry County Democrats has the power to call for and receive reports from the Executive Committee, the standing committees, and any special or ad hoc committees; act upon proposed resolutions; and take such action as it deems appropriate to further the purpose and goals of the Democratic Party.

The Curry County Democrats membership is made up of all Democratic Precinct Committee Persons (PCPs) elected or appointed in Curry County and any Democratic legislator who lives in and is a PCP of another county and who represents a portion of Curry County.

The Curry County Democrats and its membership are active locally in numerous projects and issues, on a wide variety of interests and are dedicated to making people’s lives better.

The Executive Committee

Current Officers of the Curry County Democrats Executive Committee

Our Executive Committee sets the direction and priorities of the County party. It helps determine which races to prioritize, how our time is invested and how our money is spent.

Our priorities are supporting and recruiting candidates, dissemination of news to our members, organizing our internal democracy (officer elections, bylaw changes, delegates to state party, etc.)

Our officers are usually precinct leaders, activists and community connectors. New members of the Executive Committee may be elected or appointed. If you would like more details, please go to our Document Library and read our bylaws and standing orders.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Executive Committee, contact our Chairman, Bret Cecil at: pcp@bretcecil.com

Precinct Persons (PCPs)

Precinct Committee Persons are the building blocks of the Democratic Party of Oregon. They are voted on locally and represent precincts of approximately 250 registered voters. But there are additional responsibilities, powers and opportunities vested in these grassroots elected officials. PCPs are the critical driving force behind registering voters, getting out the word on candidates, and helping Democrats understand the party’s structure, process, and platform. They are the people who go out, walk neighborhoods, and connect with and activate progressive Oregonians, by talking to independent, unaffiliated, and Democratic voters alike. These are completely volunteer positions with time commitment and responsibilities largely set by each PCP individually.

The Central Committee

Voting members of the Central Committe have the final say about the activities of the Curry County Democrats and consists of the members of the Executive Committe and the Precinct Persons.

All Democrats are invited and encouraged to attend Central Committee meetings. Starting on Saturday, January 17, 2026, the Curry Democrats will hold their Central Committee (General) meetings in person! We recognize the need, in these challenging and concerning times, to come together and draw strength from each other.

The business portion of the meeting will be kept to the bare essentials, leaving plenty of time to discuss important issues, hear from engaging speakers, and enjoy each other’s company.

Meetings will be held at our county libraries on the third Saturday of each month, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, with an option to join virtually via Zoom (send a request to admin@currycountydemocrats.org or call (541) 412-3367 to request the Zoom credentials to attend.). The locations will rotate among the libraries in Gold Beach (January 17), Port Orford (February 21), and Brookings (March 21), continuing that rotation throughout 2026. Keep an eye out for an email flyer with all the key details for the January 17th meeting. If you are not on our email list, click HERE to sign up.

CURRY COUNTY GOVERNMENT

Curry County is governed by three elected Commissioners,* serving four year terms and together are the Board of Commissioners or commonly referred to as the "BOC".
Board of Commissioners hold Business Meetings on the first Wednesday and third Tuesday of every month at 6:00 PM in the Hearing Room at 94235 Moore Street, Gold Beach.
The Commissioner(s) serve as the legislative as well as, to some degree, the executive and quasi-judicial branches of Curry County government.
Commissioners are responsible for the planning, formation and implementation of the annual budget.
In addition, Commissioners serve on other federal, state and local mandated governmental panels, boards and commissions with fiscal duties and authority over public monies.
The BOC, nevertheless, sets the annual budget for all County departments, and determines overall administrative policy for every department.
