WHO WE ARE
The Missouri House Democratic Campaign Committee (MHDCC) is the campaign arm of the Missouri House Democratic Caucus. Our mission is to elect promising and passionate Democrat leaders across the state, in order to win back the Missouri House of Representatives one district at a time.
Sending Democrats to Jefferson City
Our priority is a simple one: elect Democrats. Right now we have a team of passionate leaders and candidates ready to stand up and fight for Missourians all across this state, but they cannot do it alone. However, with your help, we have the power to build grassroots campaigns and volunteer coalitions in every house district and put power back into the people's hands. We are the Missouri House Democrats, and we aim to restore transparency, accountability, and common sense reforms to Jefferson City.
