District Leaders

A District Leader is an unpaid volunteer elected official. All formal parties in New York State are required to have at least one District Leader (DL) per Assembly District (AD). These positions are subject to primary elections every two years. This ostensibly guarantees that any party with formal status in New York State (e.g. a permanent ballot line) is democratically governed by its members. In essence, the District Leader is the representative of the party members in their district to that political party’s apparatus.

– From part one of Paul Newell’s “What’s a District Leader?

District Leaders here are arranged in District order. To contact a district leader, you can find information their respective Democratic Club here.
