About Woman's Democratic Club of Montgomery County, Maryland

The WDC is a vibrant network of politically active women and men, many of whom have a history of leadership in government service, business, and non-profit organizations. For the past 60 years, the Woman’s Democratic Club (WDC) of Montgomery County, Maryland has been an integral part of our county’s proud tradition of education, activism, service and reform. Since then, the Club has offered women (and men) lively exchanges with leading politicians, authors, academics, journalists and policy makers, as well as called for their political activism on the local, state and national levels. The WDC’s purpose is to help elect Democrats, support Democratic programs, and educate all voters on local, state, and national issues. Our Founding After the 1956 election, the talented and enthusiastic women who ran Adlai Stevenson's Bethesda campaign headquarters decided to establish a club for Democratic women. The founding luncheon in January 1957 featured Eleanor Roosevelt, who spoke to 250 women at Normandie Farm Restaurant in Potomac. By 1960, the WDC had become a vital force in both county and national politics, with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) enlisting members for various activities and to staff offices for Democratic Inaugural events. In the 1960s and ‘70s, the Club ran the Bethesda-Chevy Chase campaign headquarters for the Montgomery County Democratic Central Committee (MCDCC).
