Meet your 2024 Democratic Primary Candidates

On this page, explore the Democratic candidates seeking to represent you - from the White House to the Statehouse to the Courthouse.

As we enter the 2024 Primary season, Your Monroe County Democratic Party has both an obligation and a duty to remain neutral as our fellow Democrats compete, thus we have only included basic information and links to the candidates’ platforms. We will list campaign information for those campaigns who have either publicly declared or filed information.

Please note that not all candidates have made websites available. If you are a candidate and would like any information updated, please contact us!
