Montgomery County Democratic Committee
The Montgomery County Democratic Committee (MCDC) works to elect top quality candidates for County, State and Federal offices. We are a grassroots organization, with members representing each of the districts within Montgomery County, Virginia.
MCDC holds regular organizational meetings as well as social events, including our major fundraiser each year, the Fall Dinner.
Of course every year is an election year in Virginia, so we are always helping with campaigns at some level. Please join us at our next event!

Largest Attendance in Several Years at MCDC Picnic
Rep. Rick Boucher spoke to more than 130 area voters at the Montgomery County Democratic Committee (MCDC) annual summer picnic at Nellie’s Cave Park in Blacksburg, Va., on Saturday, July 31.
"Despite the rain, Montgomery County Democrats turned out to show their enthusiasm for the upcoming election and support for Rick Boucher," said Steve Cochran, MCDC chair.
Boucher emphasized the importance of the upcoming election, one of the most challenging during his 27 years in Congress. The Abingdon, Virginia, native stressed the need to maintain Democratic control of the U.S. House of Representatives so that the country continues to move forward. He highlighted his base of support in the New River Valley and Southwest Virginia’s coal country, two Democratic strongholds.
Delegate Jim Shuler introduced Boucher and spoke about his long history of support for the 9th District, including Montgomery County. Former State Senator Madison Mayre expressed support for his former colleague in the Virginia General Assembly.
Photos of the summer picnic and the opening of Boucher’s headquarters in Blacksburg are available at the photo gallery.
Boucher Campaign Opens Blacksburg Headquarters
Rep. Rick Boucher joined local Democrats on Saturday, July 31, to cut the ribbon for his new campaign headquarters at 617 North Main Street, Suite 100-B, in Blacksburg.
The local Democratic headquarters will be a base of operations for Boucher’s re-election campaign in Montgomery County. In the coming months before the November 2 election, volunteers will use the office to make phone calls to supporters, distribute campaign materials, and organize canvassing and GOTV (get out the vote) efforts.
Although Boucher may be facing his toughest election since winning a seat in congress in 1982, he not only has a strong base of support in Montgomery County and elsewhere but also a long history of representing the economic needs of the 9th District.
To volunteer, you can reach the Blacksburg campaign headquarters at (540) 443-1941 or contact field organizer brittany@vavictory10.org.
