About Greene County Democratic Party

The Greene County Democratic Party is organized with the Greene County Democratic Central Committee, whose members are representatives to the political divisions of Wards and Townships throughout the county. There is one Committeeman and one Committeewoman for each Ward or Township.

We are involved in community education initiatives, and in efforts to increase voter participation in every election cycle. We also work to recruit and support candidates.

Our Chairman is Art Kessler.  Art is a carpenter by trade and is currently President of the Carpenters Local 978.  He is married to Pam and they have two children and four grandchildren.  Our Vice-Chair is Sondra Vaught.  Sondra is a retired teacher from Republic.  She is married to Bobby and they have one child and one grandchild.

Our other officers are Secretary, Jim Lee,  and Treasurer, Ann Dare.    Our Executive Director is Kellie Freeman-Rohrbaugh.

Since 2005, Greene County has set the trend in Missouri of having a full-time executive director. The counties of Boone and Jackson & the City of St Louis has followed suit in subsequent years.  We also bought our Springfield headquarters, at 1764 S Fremont Ave, in June 2007.

We raise our money locally, and rely on it to pay for our executive director and to keep our headquarters open year round.  We hope you will take the time to come by, say hello and get involved with the Democratic Party here in Greene County.
