OVERVIEW

The National Conference of Democratic Mayors (NCDM) is a forum created in the 1970’s to give Democratic Mayors a place to reflect their own unique views and objectives as the leaders of American cities. The NCDM’s mission is to:

• Serve as the structure through which Mayors who subscribe to the principles of the Democratic Party can communicate and promote the goals of the party as they relate to cities;
• Act as a liaison between the nation’s Democratic Mayors, the Democratic National Committee and other Democratic Organizations; and
• Create a political network of Mayors to affect local, state and national elections and to aid in the re-election of incumbent Mayors who are members of the Democratic Party.

Communications

• Bi-Weekly Email Newsletters featuring Talking Points, Democratic Mayors at Work Best Practices, News about the Democratic National Convention and More!
