Who we are and why we serve Placer County
In April 2009, a dedicated group of Roseville activists came together with the purpose of ensuring that Roseville, as the population center of Placer County, had a true democratic voice and club of its own. The founding name was the Roseville Junction Unity Democratic Club, but as time passed the club became known as the Roseville Junction Democratic Club. The club decided to keep the word “Junction” in its name as homage to the city’s original name as a once bustling railroad town pure in history as a junction for farmers and as the largest rail yard on the west coast. In October 2025, after recently re-chartering from being inactive, the Club decided to rename ourselves the Roseville Area Democratic Club, to rebrand and broaden our reach. We are duly chartered by the Placer County Democratic Party.
A junction a place or point where two or more things meet or converge. Historically, Roseville has been known for where two rail lines converge. Culturally though, Roseville is also where urban begins to meet the rural. A few decades ago, there was not much here. Now, the developed areas have sprawled out and Roseville has a booming population. Politically, Roseville is where liberal values meet and bump up against one of the last bastions of conservatism in California. This junction brings a lot of Democrats to the area who are surprised what they find. The Roseville Area Democratic Club is here to join all of those Democrats together, to support one another, build an inclusive community, and stand up for our values and beliefs. Together, we can make a difference in Roseville and Placer County.
The Roseville Area Democratic Club is open to any Democrat that wishes to join us no matter where you live. Members join us from Sacramento, Rocklin, Granite Bay and many other surrounding areas. We also welcome non-registered Democrats who hold our values to join as guests.
As a club, we strive to be a voice and welcoming home for Democrats in Roseville, Rocklin, and Granite Bay. Our members advocate for working families, good union jobs, affordable and accessible health care, ending gun violence, protecting our right to honest elections, protecting the rights of women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, a clean environment, opposing racism, addressing homelessness with compassion, and celebrating the diversity that exists in our community.
Our Executive Board
Our executive board is elected every two years by Club membership.

It is charged under state law with overseeing the Party’s local activities and campaigns and works in partnership with the California Democratic Party.
The PCDCC consists of members elected from each of the county’s Supervisorial Districts, as well as the Democratic nominees for Congress, State Senate, Assembly, and State Constitutional office.
PCDP members are elected every two years on the party’s primary ballot. Any interim vacancies are filled by appointment through a vote of the current membership.
