A Precinct Committee Person (PCP)—also known as a Precinct Captain—is the Democratic Party’s grassroots representative for each voting precinct in Stephenson County. PCPs are the vital link between voters and the Stephenson County Democratic Party, helping share information, build relationships, and strengthen our presence in every neighborhood. With today’s communication tools, anyone can serve effectively—regardless of physical or financial limitations.
PCPs are elected every two years during the Primary Election by filing a simple petition with signatures. If a precinct has no elected PCP, the Stephenson County Democratic Chair may appoint someone to fill the vacancy—even if they live outside that precinct.
Serving as a PCP is one of the most meaningful ways to strengthen your community, defend democratic values, and connect with neighbors who care about the future of Stephenson County.
