Message from Manheim Township Dems District Leader Brenda Kauffman
Welcome to Manheim Township Democrats!
All registered MT Dems are welcome to join the Manheim Township Democratic Committee (MTDC). We appreciate your interest and invite you to join us.
Manheim Township is the second largest municipality in Lancaster County with the second largest number of registered Democrats.
MTDC reaches out to all 31,000+ registered Democrats, Independents and moderate Republicans voters to provide information about progressive issues, to protect and support our democracy, and to encourage people to vote to protect those core values.
In the November 2023 election -- for the first time ever – Manheim Township voters elected ALL Democratic candidates running for the municipal offices of five Manheim Township School Board members, two Manheim Township commissioners, and one district magistrate. It was a huge sweep of Democratic victories with unprecedented margins of victory.
Our goal is to continue Democratic victories in Manheim Township. In 2024, we will elect statewide officeholders, a U.S. Senator, and our president. The stakes are high but once again, we will work to ensure that Pennsylvania is the key to protecting our democracy:
Mark your calendars for two important elections this year and help us elect candidates who stand for democratic values:
PRIMARY ELECTION: April 23, 2024
GENERAL ELECTION: Nov. 5, 2024
If you are concerned about the state of affairs in the country, get involved with us! Work to protect our democracy. Help us reach out to voters. Join us at our monthly meetings. Learn more how you can help. Volunteer opportunities exist on many levels.
We meet the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at St. Matthew Church, 700 Pleasure Rd. You can also attend via Zoom. Feel free to join us! Please reach out to me for more information.
Make sure you are ready to vote!
It’s our state and presidential election this year. In 2024, we vote for President, U.S. Senator, Statewide offices (Attorney General, Auditor General, Treasurer) and our state representatives and state senators. Join us to find out more about the issues and your candidates.
Sign up to help.

You support matters
CONTRIBUTE TO THE MTDEMS
In the 2024 Presidential Election, DONORS LIKE YOU helped Manheim Township give Kamala Harris a 1900 vote victory margin over Donald Trump, defeating him in MT by 53.5% to 46.5%. Together we did our part for her, for the Commonwealth and for the Country.
Now, we need your financial support in 2025 to help us succeed in MT local elections for School Board and Board of Commissioners. Among other things, the MTDEMS support candidates’ campaigns by canvassing voters, publishing newsletters and voter guides, and running print media ads. On Election Day, we also provide polling place greeters and poll observers, along with turning out our voters and assisting them at the polls.
Providing these services to candidates and voters requires substantial funding.
So, please contribute to the MTDEMS to help our candidates win in 2025!
