DemDaily: The Party’s Farm Team

As a part of DemList's mission to profile the good work of the democratic family, we are happy to highlight one of the DNC's most important constituency organizations -- the Democratic Municipal Officials (DMO).
The Democratic Municipal Officials (DMO) is a non-profit (527) political organization that represents the interests of over 40,000 elected Mayors, City Council Members, and other elected Democratic Municipal Officials.
"We Connect, Engage, and Empower Democratic Municipal Officials"
DMO was founded in 1988 and is a rapidly growing organization with over 6,000 active members, and state chapters in more than 30 states.
Locally elected Democrats are the "farm team" of the party and often have the most direct impact on their voters' daily lives. DMO is a tremendous resource for those who serve in local office - and those who wish to serve.
DMO offers a suite of resources, including political trainings, education, webinars, strategy and policy counsel to its members.
