These positions are impactful. Because they elect the county democratic committees (if your state Democratic Party is organized at the municipal level) or the county committees usually elect the state level committees (with some exceptions). The state committees then elect the national officers/ DNC reps.

I appreciate your responses and perspective - I truly hope somebody finds it useful.

I would sooner run for other forms of leadership in my community, as I have lost confidence that organizing around the Democratic Party will translate to concrete change.

However, I don't wish to diminish or discourage well-intentioned action, any and all action is appreciated in my book - regardless of how I might personally view the situation.
