Who We Are
Our Mission
Gwinnett County Democratic Women’s mission is to be a social and political organization.
Democratic Party candidates, organizations, and activists attracted and inspired thousands of new voters, as well as excited already registered voters to turn out in record numbers in the national election in 2020. Voting amongst Millennials, Gen-Xers, Baby Boomers, and the Silent Generation in Gwinnett County, and across the great state of Georgia, took place like never before. The mission of GDW is to keep this generationally uniting, critically important, ‘Blue Wave’ of political activism going. GDW continues to work tirelessly to support the election of Democratic women (and men) in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Our Core Values
Where we stand: In the nation, in the state of Georgia, and in Gwinnett County, Georgia, Gwinnett Democratic Women (GDW) are united in serving the people. We believe healthcare is a right, diversity is a strength, the economy should work for everyone, and facts and truth matter. There is no single issue more important than another.
The GDW members are women (and men) who are politically aware, socially involved, committed, and ready to serve the community’s best interests. They reflect cultures, backgrounds, languages, socioeconomic levels, family and relationship structures, and interests that are as refreshingly diverse as the world.
Our History
There are Georgia Federation of Democratic Women (GFDW) county-level affiliate sections across the state of Georgia. The Gwinnett Democratic Women (GDW) is one such section. The Georgia Federation of Democratic Women (GFDW) is the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) official organization for women.
The Gwinnett Federation of Democratic Women is a chapter of the Georgia Federation of Democratic Women and The National Federation of Democratic Women, which was established in 1971 as a vehicle to support the voices of women within the Party organization. Gwinnett Democratic Women welcomes concerned, engaged, and involved Democratic women.

We collectively celebrate our diversity and inclusiveness – a great strength – and we respect our differences. We pledge to move Gwinnett County forward in supporting equality across myriad issues, concerns, programs, and policies.
Investing in the Future & Family
Everything is politics, and politics is everything.
In addition to voter education, registration, and GOTV (Get Out The Vote) initiatives, GDW actively works to increase the representation of Democratic women in local, state, and national levels of government.
GDW also works to inform the public to hold our elected officials accountable for the legislative actions that they take that impact Gwinnett County residents.
The vision and mission of GDW within the Democratic Party structure is crystal clear: Democratic Party women elected to office bring about compassionate representation in government that supports and respects multigenerational, and multidimensionally diverse constituents, in myriad ways – and this ideological perspective is gaining momentum.
