Welcome, Arlington Young Democrats!

The Arlington Young Democrats are a collection of Arlington citizens, ages 17-36, committed to furthering the principles of the Democratic Party, making an impact in the Arlington community, and providing fun social opportunities for young people in Arlington. People under the age of 35 make up one third of Arlington County, two-thirds of which vote for Democrats. Our club has over 250 members and we are the largest young professional Democratic club in the state of Virginia.

People join AYD for a variety of reasons including: to get involved in politics and political campaigns; to become active in the community; and, to get involved in a social environment with other young Democratic citizens. Our members currently serve as campaign managers, campaign volunteers and community leaders. AYD members also make up at least 25% of the Arlington County Democratic Committee Steering Committee.
