BCDP Platform
Welcome to the Blount County Democratic Party. We believe everyone deserves a decent standard of living and a fair pathway to successful endeavors. We are working to make this a reality in our community in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.
2025-26 Executive Committee
The BCDP Executive Committee is made up of 2 District Representatives elected from each of the 10 Blount County commission districts and Officers. District Representatives represent Democrats within their district and participate in governing the Blount County Democratic Party (for more detail about what they do see their job description).
The Executive Committee meets on the 2nd Thursday of every month. The meeting is open to the public. We welcome anyone who is interested in supporting the Democratic platform and participating in BCDP activities.
