Our Purpose
The purpose of the Burnet County Democratic Club is to foster active interest in the Democratic Party to increase political activity by Democrats in local, state and national politics.
Any person who supports the purposes of the Club is eligible for membership. The Club does not and shall not exclude anyone from membership on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, ethnicity, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status.
​
Per a bylaws change adopted in April 2021 by a membership vote, the Burnet County Democratic Club no longer collect yearly dues. But donations are welcome!
We have set up an online membership form to make it easy to join and/or update your membership profile.
CLUB HISTORY:
In late 2018, a few Democrats in Burnet County, Texas, were working to support Marti Pogue, Burnet County Democratic Party Chair, when they realized something.
They weren’t alone! Burnet County has more Democrats than they knew.
So, they decided that the best way to support the Party at the county, state and national level was to formally establish a Club. This Club would be a separate entity from the Burnet County Party, with its own board, members and funds. Yet, its mission would be to spread the ideals of the Democratic Party throughout Burnet County and help to register and turn out as many Democratic voters as possible.
Our current Officers elected for 2024-2025 are:
-
BJ Henry, President
-
Rosann Thornton, Vice President
-
Martha Patino Van Vleck, Secretary (second term!)
-

Along with a governing board comprised of active, involved Democrats throughout the county, the BCDC has a bright future moving ahead!
