What is an MTDC District Representative?
The voting members of the Morris Township Democratic Committee are often informally referred to as district representatives, or “district reps”. Formally, they are members of both the Morris County Democratic Committee (MCDC) and the Morris Township Democratic Committee (MTDC). The district reps are the voice of the Democratic Party in Morris Township. New Jersey state law controls much of how MTDC is structured. By law, there can be no more than two representatives per voting district. Morris Township has 23 voting districts, and so there can be no more than 46 district reps. Most of the members have been elected in primary elections, which are held every two years. When a vacancy occurs, MTDC can elect any registered Democrat from the township to fill the position.

What are the responsibilities of MTDC District Reps?

Here are some typical activities of district reps. People differ in what they emphasize and in
what they have time for.
1. Knowing what matters to the rep’s district. Getting to know its residents and their
interests and concerns. Having conversations with unaffiliated voters and Republicans as
well as Democrats.
2. Actively supporting Democratic candidates
 Contacting voters (door to door canvassing; phone banking, postcard writing, etc.)
 Ensuring that people in the district are registered to vote, particularly young people
and new residents
 Researching issues to be used in campaigns
 Designing websites or mailers
 Making financial contributions to candidates, and to MTDC and MCDC
 Hosting events such as fundraisers and “meet and greets”.
3. Staying politically engaged. Knowing what the key issues are nationally, in New Jersey, in
Morris County, and in Morris Township. Finding ways to connect larger issues (e.g., across
the world or the USA) to things that directly affect the lives of voters in Morris Township.
4. Helping build the party
 Participate in MTDC’s monthly meetings
 Volunteer and support MTDC in reaching new residents
 Recruit new members to MTDC
 Identify and promote potential candidates for local office (or volunteer to run
yourself!)
 Help strengthen the ties between MTDC and allied groups.    
5. Attend governmental meetings to stay informed and make your opinions known.
6. Volunteer to serve on local boards and commissions.

Democrats who are not district reps can also help with these activities!
