Established in 2015
Louisville Young Democrats started after community members saw a need to encourage young voters to become more involved in politics.
We believe young voters are the next generation of leaders and many of the issues being discussed today, like the climate crisis and universal healthcare, directly affect us most over the course of our lifetimes.
By becoming active in politics, we can ensure we have a future we can look forward to. This includes good-paying jobs, affordable healthcare and so much more.
We’re advocates and promoters of the Democratic Party’s message and values to young voters in Jefferson County.
As a completely volunteer-led organization, Louisville Young Democrats mobilizes young people under the age of 40 to participate in the electoral process to elect Democrats.
As the next generation of leaders, we shape the future of the Democratic Party, advocate for progressive issues and train the next generation of progressive leaders.
Louisville Young Democrats has had an outsized effect on our city and state over the years. Instead of just creating a bold vision for progressive change then waiting our turn, LYD members are actively involved in the political process in a wide variety of ways.
Our members are working on campaigns, lobbying, working inside the government and sitting on Democratic boards. Some LYD members have even went on to hold public office.
I’m frequently asked what it means to be the youngest female state representative in Kentucky’s history. It means I have a unique opportunity to add a different perspective to the conversations we have in Frankfort. It’s important that all age groups are represented in our political systems and elected offices. As Young Dems, we can lead our state in a new direction—where all people are represented in our political spaces and elected offices.

I am truly honored to serve as the President of the Louisville Young Democrats. This group stands alone with true leadership and a passion for making tomorrow a brighter day for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
The Louisville Young Democrats are committed to progressive change for all. We believe in building a future rooted in equity, inclusivity, and justice, and we are driven by the belief that bold action is required to address the challenges we face.
As young Democrats, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for engagement, education, and action. We work to increase voter turnout, support progressive candidates, and hold our elected officials accountable.
Our organization plays a crucial role in shaping the political landscape of Louisville and Kentucky, and we are proud to be at the forefront of the fight for social, economic, and environmental justice. In our political climate, now is the time to stand up for what is right, and I hope that everyone who agrees with the mission of the Louisville Young Democrats will join us in making Kentucky better for all.
