Who are Shaker Dems?

We are a non-profit organization committed to engaging Democrats and Independents who reside within Shaker Heights, Ohio and its school district. We discuss, debate and support local, state and national candidates and issues. We also support the Shaker Heights community and its youth by fostering greater awareness of, and interest in, political issues.

We are focusing on building community leaders and revitalizing neighborhood team networks who will work together to promote Democratic priorities and values.

Our Mission

The Shaker Dems believe in working together to fight for Democratic values and policies. Shaker Democrats and community members recognize just how critical it is to be active and involved in helping Democratic candidates win elections.

The Shaker Dems know that when we all pull together, our hard work pays off. To achieve success at the state, county and local levels, we must remain a vibrant, active club, and expand our membership and influence.

How We Work

The Shaker Heights Democratic Club is led by an elected Board of Trustees and is governed by our constitution and our by-laws. We operate our club in a professional manner so our meetings and events will be effective and efficient. Our goals are to:

• Elect Democratic candidates who demonstrate leadership

• Support Democratic issues that enhance our community

• Build on our relationship with our Democratic Precinct Committee Persons so that grassroots Democrats will have a strong voice in our Party

Let’s get Social!
