District Leaders
What is a district leader?
District Leaders are dedicated volunteers who represent registered Democrats in election districts throughout Ossining. They are typically active members of the community who are well-informed about local politics and the qualifications of those seeking office. Their primary responsibilities are to vote on which Democratic candidates to support in local elections, and to collect petition signatures to get those candidates on the ballot.
​
There are 30 election districts in Ossining, and up to two District Leaders can represent each district. Every even year, individuals seeking to serve as District Leaders collect signatures from registered Democrats in a particular election district. The act of collecting the signatures typically becomes the election process for the District Leaders. Collecting signatures is also an opportunity for District Leaders to interact directly with Democratic voters in the election district they represent. These interactions can be opportunities for voters to learn more about candidates and the local democratic process, as well as provide District Leaders with a sense of the concerns and priorities of voters.
