The '''Democratic National Committee''' ('''DNC''') is the principal executive leadership board of the [[United States]]'s [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]].

==Role==
The DNC is responsible for articulating and promoting the Democratic platform and coordinating party organizational activity. In particular, it organizes and calls for the [[Democratic National Convention]] held every four years to nominate candidates for [[President of the United States|President]] and [[Vice President of the United States]], and is subsequently responsible for the [[Presidential campaign]]. The DNC is more focused on campaign and organizational strategy than [[public policy]]. According to Boris Heersink, "political scientists have traditionally described the parties' national committees as inconsequential but impartial service providers."<ref>Boris Heersink, "Trump and the party-in-organization: Presidential control of national party organizations."

In presidential elections, it supervises the national convention and, both independently and in coordination with the presidential candidate, raises funds, commissions polls, and coordinates campaign strategy.<ref name="DNC organization" /> Following the selection of a party nominee, the public funding laws permit the national party to coordinate certain expenditures with the nominee, but additional funds are spent on general, party-building activities.<ref>{{cite web |title=Public Funding of Presidential Elections |publisher=[[Federal Election Commission]] |date=February 2005 |url=http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/pubfund.shtml#General |access-date=October 29, 2006 |archive-date=February 22, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060222110433/http://www.cfinst.org/pr/111005.html#General |url-status=live }}</ref> There are state committees in every state, as well as local committees in most cities, wards, and towns (and, in most states, counties).

When the president is a Democrat, the party generally works closely with the president and the White House largely controls the committee.

== Membership and organization ==
The DNC is headed by a chairperson, five vice chairpersons, a treasurer, a secretary, and a national finance chair, who are all elected by vote of members of the Democratic National Committee itself.<ref name="charter">{{Cite web |title=DNC 2018 Charter |url=https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DNC-Charter-Bylaws-8.25.18-with-Amendments.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211218185206/https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DNC-Charter-Bylaws-8.25.18-with-Amendments.pdf |archive-date=December 18, 2021 |access-date=February 25, 2019}}</ref>{{rp|5}}

The DNC establishes rules for the [[caucus]]es and [[United States presidential primary|primaries]] which choose delegates to the [[Democratic National Convention]], but the caucuses and primaries themselves are most often run not by the DNC but instead by each individual state. Primary elections, in particular, are conducted by state governments according to their own laws.

Hallett]].<ref>{{cite book|title=The Democratic National Committee, 1830–1876|first=Joseph Edwin|last=Howe|year=1919|publisher=[[University of Wisconsin–Madison]]|type=Master's thesis |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j302AAAAMAAJ&pg=PA5 |via=[[Google Books]]}}</ref>

In order to strengthen the national party organization, [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Roosevelt]] proposed in 1925 that the DNC should open a permanent headquarters in order to function "every day in every year" and exist on a "business-like financial basis." In 1929, [[John J. Raskob|John Raskob]] led the creation of the first permanent national headquarters for the DNC in Washington, DC.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Reichey |first=A.
