About the State Committee
The Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee (PADSC) is the governing body of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party. The PADSC is charged with steering the direction of the party and organizing for Democrats across the ballot! PADSC members, who are elected to four-year terms, meet in full three times each year. They elect party leadership, hold nominating conventions, pass and promote a party platform, and help lead organizing efforts across the Commonwealth.
​
Each county’s representation on the state committee is based on its percentage of registered Democratic voters statewide. Based on this formula, Chester County is allocated 10 members (5 female-identifying and 5 male-identifying).
