Dubuque Neighbors. Democratic Values.

Local Democrats working together for strong schools, fair wages, affordable healthcare, and a future where every family in Dubuque County can thrive.

Let’s build Dubuque’s future together.

We recruit and support Democratic candidates for local office, connect neighbors with resources to vote, and keep our community engaged between elections. By raising funds, training volunteers, and organizing events, we make sure Democrats win – up and down the ballot. Together, we can build a more just and inclusive Dubuque County.

Upcoming Elections

The midterm election is on November 3, and every vote has the power to shape our schools, wages, and future. Local Democrats are working hard to make sure every voice is heard and every ballot is counted – because when Dubuque shows up, we create a blue wave from Dubuque to D.C.

Hall of Fame Celebration 2026

Our biggest and most energizing nights in years!

On May 9, neighbors from across Dubuque County came together to celebrate local leaders, hear from inspiring voices, and invest in the future of our community — and thanks to supporters like you, the evening was a tremendous success!

We sold out the event, raised more money from grassroots supporter than we have in years, and filled the room with optimism, energy, and determination for what comes next.

Guests heard from incredible honorees and Democratic leaders, including special remarks from former Senator Tom Harkin.

Most of all, the night was a reminder that this movement is powered by people — people who care deeply about Dubuque County and believe in building a stronger future together.

Dubuque County Convention 2026

If you participated in your precinct caucus or simply want to be part of the process – this is your next step.

All Democrats are welcome to attend. Whether you’re a first-time participant or a longtime volunteer, the convention is your opportunity to help shape the future of our party here at home.
