We are thrilled to kick off our Subdivision Spotlight series with the Sussex County Democratic Committee (SCDC) — a powerhouse of grassroots energy and leadership in the heart of southern Delaware.
The SCDC is made up of the ten Representative District Democratic Committees across Sussex County, all working together to organize, engage, and activate voters. Their mission is clear: grow Democratic momentum in what is often considered Republican territory.
Meet the Leadership Team:
Chair: Jeff Balk
First Vice-Chair: Loretta Benson
Second Vice-Chair: Tim Garrahan
Treasurer: Valencia Hayes
Corresponding Secretary: Michael Weiss
Recording Secretary: Harry Gold
State Party At-Large Member: Joe Sakaduski
This outstanding team brings experience, passion, and deep community ties to the work of expanding Democratic influence in Sussex County.
Get Involved
The SCDC holds monthly meetings on the fourth Monday at their Georgetown Headquarters. All registered Democrats are welcome to participate and contribute to the vibrant Democratic movement in Sussex County. For more information on how to get involved, visit their website.
At the Delaware Democratic Party, we know that strong local organizations are the backbone of long-term success. We're committed to working side by side with county parties like the SCDC to grow our base, win elections, and deliver results for every Delawarean — from the beach to the Brandywine.
