Ranch Democrats focuses its efforts within the communities of Ladera Ranch, Las Flores and Rancho Mission Viejo to advance the goals of the Democratic Party, as defined by the platforms of the California Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee through voter outreach, public policy and political issue analysis, education, fund-raising, candidate recruitment and support, coordination with other Democratic groups, and other activities to benefit the Democratic Party while also publicizing activities and building its membership.
We have only three sources of funding for our organization: Membership fees, General Donations and Sustaining donations. There are no other sources so we need your support.

How does the new membership signup process work?
- First, we collect membership dues and donations using a third-party application called ActBlue.
- If you already have an ActBlue Express account you can use that account to complete your payment.
- An ActBlue account is not required but it will speed up future payments for donations or the annual membership dues.
- Second, a Member Information Form will be displayed. This form is needed to collect member payment information that is required by Federal and State regulations. It is important that you take the time to complete this form.
- NOTE: You may be prompted to select a picture. This is called Captcha and is used to prevent spammers from using the site. If it looks like the page went blank then scroll up.
