Background: Young Democrats are the future of the Democratic Party, but YDs are currently allowed to send only one representative to the State Central Committee (SCC). The following charter amendment would give YDs equal gender representation on the SCC.

New Section C. Young Democratic Members. The SCC shall have two Young Democratic members: a state committeeman and a state committeewoman elected by the Young Democrats of Washington. Young Democratic Members shall be elected to terms of two years.
