This site is designed to provide the residents of Chaplin with information about the Chaplin Democratic Party through its Democratic Town Committee. The Committee's primary purpose is to help provide the best possible governance of the town by being actively involved in issues affecting the town and by finding the best possible candidates for town offices. We also offer support for Democratic candidates at the state and national level. Members are active in all of the town's boards and commissions as well as social and civic organizations. We hope this site will be a community forum for all the citizens of Chaplin and will lead more people to take an active role in the life of the town.
