Our Mission
The Dover Democratic Committee’s overarching mission is to improve the quality of life for everyone—especially residents of Dover, New Hampshire—through the democratic process of government at the local, county, state, and national levels.
To achieve this, we promote and support the Democratic Party, identify and elect strong Democratic candidates, and advance legislative actions that reflect Democratic values.
