ELECT DEMOCRATS, PROTECT OUR FREEDOMS
Welcome to the Ulster County Democratic Party
At 50,000+ Democrats strong, the Ulster County Democratic Party is powered by activists and community-minded doers in our corner of the beautiful Hudson Valley and Catskills. We believe that, working together, we can create a more perfect union where our people, our environment, and our economy all thrive.
2026 Candidate Endorsements!
Ulster County Democrats gathered this week at Kingston City Hall to endorse candidates for the landmark 2026 election, the first time federal, state, county, and local races will all appear on one ballot.
“Ulster County Democrats are united in supporting this incredible slate of endorsed candidates who are committed to promoting affordability, decency, and safety within our communities,” said Ulster County Democratic Committee Chair Barbara Graves-Poller. “The energy, diversity, and passion for public service on display at our convention is what most voters hope to see at the national level.”
This expanded ballot is a powerful opportunity to choose leaders who share our values and will fight for an affordable, safe, and equitable Ulster County, from our villages to our two Congressional seats.
This November, It’s All On The Line!
Petitioning begins soon — and we’re just getting started.
