The Democratic Information Center

Of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties, only a handful have a permanent Democratic headquarters.  Philadelphia and Allegheny do, of course, and I believe Centre and Erie counties also have permanent office spaces.  And Carbon.

That’s right.  Carbon, with roughly 60,000 people.  Actually, the office is not officially a party headquarters; it is funded with private donations and run by a self-appointed group called the Community Outreach Association.  


The office is open not only to Democrats, but also to other progressive, labor, and environmental groups.  We also host social events like the party held there on Saturday morning where local candidates collected signatures on their nominating petitions and attendees were treated to a potluck.
