The Lincoln County Democratic Committee meets monthly. It’s an opportunity to meet members, participate in discussion, hear from political candidates and other speakers with expertise, ideas and opinions about current issues. We also host or promote other educational, activist, and social activities to further our goals. We also have a number of volunteer opportunities that focus on various long-range projects. Join us!

The biennial Frances Perkins Award Celebration honors a Lincoln County Democrat who exemplifies, through their efforts, the continuing legacy of Frances Perkins. Grounded by summers with her grandmother in Newcastle, Perkins, FDR’s Secretary of Labor, was the lead advocate of the New Deal for Social Security, the 40-hour work week, workers’ compensation, and unemployment insurance, as well as for laws regulating child labor. Lincoln County Democrats and Frances Perkins Award recipients strive to maintain these social reforms and extend the same political wisdom toward the problems and concerns of our time.
On May 4, we’ll honor one of our own with an upscale cocktail reception at a time and place to be announced. Save the date and keep your eyes open for further updates about this not-to-miss event!
The Lincoln County Democratic Committee acknowledges that we are meeting on unceded Wabanaki land. The Wabanaki Nations – the Penobscot Nation, Passamaquoddy Tribe, Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians and Mi’kmaq Nation – have stewarded the lands and waters of Lincoln County and all of Maine for more than 12,000 years. We acknowledge the cultural and physical genocide of the Wabanaki caused by colonialism and recognize that the impact of that history on Tribal citizens persists today. We support ongoing decolonization efforts and affirm that Wabanaki Nations are distinct, sovereign, legal, and political entities with their own powers of self-governance and self-determination.
