Lawrenceburg, Kentucky
Nestled among the rolling hills of central Kentucky along the famous Bourbon Trail, Anderson County is small in size but bursting with opportunities for change and growth, as is our Anderson County Democratic Party.
We are on a mission to shape a future in our county based on social and economic justice, environmental stewardship, and government for the needs of the people. We need committed Democrats to help make this vision of transformation a reality.
We welcome you to find out how you can be a part of the new Democratic spirit of Anderson County, Kentucky.
The Executive Committee meets on the third Monday of each month at 6:00 P.M. at the Anthony D. Stratton Building at the Community Park in Lawrenceburg.
All meetings are open and inclusive to all, and guests are always encouraged to attend!

When you file your Kentucky state taxes, you'll see an option to donate $2 to a political party. If you check the box for Democrats, that money goes directly to your state and county parties. And here's the best part: it doesn't reduce your refund or increase what you owe. Every little bit helps!
Please join us for a unique opportunity for Anderson County Democrats to meet their candidates! The Anderson County Democratic Executive Committee is proud to announce that we will be hosting a Meet 'n Greet for DREW WILLIAMS, 1st Kentucky Congressional District candidate, and ZACH DEMBO, 6th Kentucky Congressional District candidate. The event will be held on JUNE 16TH, 2026, from 5-7 p.m. at the Bluegrass Sabor Restaurant in Lawrenceburg. We have also worked hard to encourage CHARLES BOOKER, Senate candidate to attend and are hopeful for a positive response. Please check our Facebook page for updated information as it unfolds, but mark your calendars now for June 16th to join us for a friendly Democratic get-together. We can't wait to see you!

Identification Required for voting: Any federal, Kentucky, local government or school-issued identification card with picture and signature of the voter is valid. A driver's license is what most people use, but a military, college, or free-state-issued ID card will do. It doesn't matter is your ID is expired. It still proves you're you.
If you do not have a photo ID, or need further information, visit www.kentuckydemocracy.org/your-rights, or YouTube, Voting in Kentucky, a very helpful video on Kentucky voting.
Voter Protection Program: 833-GOVOTEKY (833-468-6835) is a hotline that will be open during voting times for you to call in about anything you see that may inhibit a person's ability to vote.
It is not the qualified voters, but the qualified voters who choose to vote, that constitute political power.
