Baldwin County DemocratsOur Guiding Principles
The Baldwin County Democratic Executive Committee is an elected body of forty people who execute functions requested by the Alabama Democratic Party. We help elect Democrats in Baldwin County and the state of Alabama. We are responsible for:
- Identifying local Democrats (Alabama does not have party registration)
- Qualifying Democratic candidates for any county-wide office
- Maintaining a campaign office for each election cycle
- Turning out the Democratic vote in state and local elections
Leadership
CHAIRJason Fisher
Jason Fisher has been involved in politics since before he could vote. He is a 2-time candidate for office, including the United States Senate Special Election in 2017. Jason was voted Chair of the Baldwin County Democrats in 2019 and is focused on continuing to build the infrastructure of the county party and organizing to ensure that every voter has the opportunity to let their voice be heard.
VICE-CHAIRAmber Smith
Amber passionately believes that we must elect local and state leaders we truly believe in. Not one to back down from a challenge, Amber ran for the Baldwin County Commission in 2018, earning 18,952 voters – a number comparable to Senator Doug Jones in 2017 and surpassing that of Hillary Clinton in 2016. Amber also ran for Daphne City Council in 2020. As the Vice-Chair, Amber believes strongly in the progress Democrats have experienced in Baldwin County politics and looks forward to the continued growth of the party.
SECRETARYLeslie Castro
Leslie was born and raised in Puerto Rico. She moved to Baldwin County 10 years ago for a professional opportunity and fell in love with the area! Leslie joined the Democratic Party to bring new options and ideas to this table that will help Baldwin County have better educational choices and environmental projects. Working with the Baldwin County Democrats has allowed Leslie to see the power and influence that we, the people, can have when we work together.
