To Be Determined

The WNY Democrats for Progress (formerly known as the New Democrats of Western New York) is an organization dedicated to advancing a 21st Century Progressive Agenda for the Buffalo-Niagara Region by electing good Democratic candidates through the use of innovative modern means combined with proven grassroots methods of the past.

Our membership includes elected officials, Democratic activists and campaign consultants with a proven track record of being able to deliver victories in important and difficult races. Current Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz is a founding member.

The Western New York Democrats for Progress will support Democratic candidates who:

Represent New Leadership

Support Progressive Ideals

Are Dedicated to Our Community

Embrace New Ways of Campaigning

Have New Ideas, Not Just an Ideology

The Western New York Democrats for Progress will not just assist candidates with traditional volunteer and grassroots efforts (though we do that too), but will go beyond that by offering candidates we support the best tools of today to compete effectively in a 21st Century campaign.

NEXT EVENT:
WHAT: May Membership Meeting
WHEN: May 23, 2013 at 7:00 PM
WHERE: D'Youville College, Blue Lounge, 320 Porter Avenue, Buffalo

ON THE AGENDA: There are several new speakers and new topics on upcoming agendas, not all of which are simply candidates seeking office. At the next meeting additional judicial candidates will appear and Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs has asked to appear before the group to talk about governmental issues. While Chris Jacobs is a Republican, we will certainly entertain him speaking before the group on governmental issues, but we will NEVER endorse any Republican candidates. But your officers have discussed this matter and we believe healthy discussion and debate on the issues strengthens the electoral process and reminds all of us why we call ourselves Progressives and Democrats.
