The Whidbey Island Democratic Club aims to promote democratic values by bringing island Democrats together for social and educational events.
WIDC was formed in 2003 to build social connections and educational opportunities for Democrats on Whidbey Island. WIDC is not a Political Action Committee, but may make contributions to the 10th L.D. Democrats or Island County Democrats. Contributions to WIDC are not tax deductible.
