EVANSTON · CINCINNATI, OHIO

Organizing Evanston.
Electing the Democrats Evanston Deserves.

We are an independent Democratic club affiliated with the Hamilton County Democratic Party. Built by and for Evanston neighbors, we organize our precincts and community year-round.

We elect Democrats who fight for the progressive values of fairness, equity, and opportunity, and show up for our Evanston community between elections.

About the club

Evanston Dems Club is an independent Democratic club affiliated with the Hamilton County Democratic Party. We are built by and for the neighbors who call Evanston home.

Our neighborhood has grown into its own political community, and it's time for a dedicated voice to match and have a seat at the table that's ours alone.

We organize our precincts year-round, turn out Democratic voters, and fight for the progressive values of fairness, equity, and opportunity for every Evanston family. We show up for our community between elections, not just on them.
