The Davidson County Democratic Party is governed by the Davidson County Democratic Executive Committee (DCDEC). The executive committee is composed of one man and one woman elected from each of the 35 Metropolitan Nashville-Davidson County Council districts. The executive committee is elected by ballot at the regular biennial Democratic Primary held every two years (in accordance with Section 1816 of the Metropolitan Charter and Private Act of the Tennessee State Legislature concerning such primary).

The Davidson County Democratic Party is focused on organizing and mobilizing Democrats in Davidson County. We have various committees which help us accomplish this.

Our committees include:

• Precinct Organization :This committee coordinates all activities for Get Out the Vote efforts; grassroots organization; recruitment and training of volunteers; voter registration and other political organizational efforts.
• Finance: This committee assists, coordinates and plans any matters relating to finance or fundraising. This committee also assists the Treasurer with any of these functions as needed.
• Constitution, Bylaws and Rules: This committee recommends changes to the Bylaws as well as drafts any changes to Bylaws. The committee also considers rules and procedures of operation for the Executive Committee (link).
• Program: This committee plans educational and social programs at regular and special meetings of the Executive Committee (link) as well as plans programs for any other activities.
• Officers: The committee consists of the four at-large officers (Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer) and the five regional vice-chairs. This committee is chaired by the Chair of the Executive Committee and meets regularly to plan agendas and discuss the implementation of the Executive Committee decisions and projects.
