The core of the New York State Democratic Party is local elected District Leaders. District Leaders are the nexus between their immediate neighborhood and our Scarsdale community and the national, state, and local Democratic Party. District Leaders get Democrats on the ballot and help Democrats get elected. DL's help shape the Democratic party, helping to vet, endorse, and guide candidates and craft party platforms.
