Live Oak County Democrats have two contributing monthly members/officers. We are seeking to expand membership in our party; we are requesting a minimum of $5 a month per adult. If there is a family that decides to join; we are happy as an organization to set a family price when that occurs. Funds will go towards items the party deem necessary to support, recruit, retain candidates, attendance to state and national events and purchase candidate signs etc.
