Who We Are

The Coconino County Democratic Party is one of the 15 county organizations of the Arizona Democratic Party (ADP). The ADP is an arm of the National Democratic Party. We are governed by Title 16 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and by our by-laws.

Anyone who registers to vote as a Democrat is a member of the Democratic Party. To become active in the governance and work of the Party, please contact us.

Coconino County is one of several counties in Congressional District 2 and is split between Arizona Legislative District (LD) 1, LD 6, and LD 7. We work with the other County Parties in LDs 1, 6, and 7 to elect candidates of mutual interest. These counties include Yavapai for LD 1; Gila and Navajo for LDs 6 and 7; Apache, Graham, and Mohave for LD6, and Pinal for LD7. Our goal is to elect Democratic candidates in all of these jurisdictions, in the cities and towns within them, in all statewide races, and for the Presidency. Until after the primary elections, the party remains neutral among Democratic candidates absent extraordinary circumstances.

Every two years, the County Party’s elected precinct committeepersons vote to elect the Executive Committee of the Party and vote for representatives to the Arizona Democratic Party. The following people were elected to serve for the 2023-2024 election cycle:

Laura Carter – Chair

Nancy Branham– 1st Vice Chair 

Joshua Lavar Butler – 2nd Vice Chair 

Bill Wade – Treasurer

Laura Huenneke – Secretary
