Working for the Common Good

The Harford County Democratic Central Committee promotes Democratic candidates, office holders and local issues in Harford County, Maryland. We accomplish this through registering voters, fundraising, organizing precincts and increasing public awareness. Our regularly scheduled meetings will be hybrid in person and virtual on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7 pm.

We are currently working to schedule a town hall meeting for Rep. Andy Harris, who will almost certainly not hold a town hall for himself in the foreseeable future. Check back here regularly for updates.

Federal Employee Hatch Act Information

Federal employees: Think you can’t participate in your local party because of the Hatch Act? Think again! While the Hatch Act does prohibit certain activities — like fundraising for candidates — there are many opportunities to pitch in. You can still knock on doors, phone-bank, attend events, post on social media and donate to candidates. Just make sure you do it on your personal time. Check with your agency’s ethics officer for any restrictions that may be unique to your situation. The Federal Office of Legal Counsel provides broad guidelines here: Federal Employee Hatch Act Information.
