Central Committee

The Central Committee has full control over all matters of the Party, including the adoption of an annual budget, the method of nomination for statewide candidates such as Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General; the adoption of resolutions and policy statements. In addition, the Central Committee can veto any decision of the Steering Committee.

The Central Committee meets at least four times a year, usually in Richmond, although by tradition, the September meeting is in Fredericksburg. Central Committee meetings are accompanied by meetings of the Steering Committee the night before, and Caucus meetings over the weekend.

The Central Committee is composed of 20 members from each of Virginia's 11 congressional districts. Each district apportions the central committee seats to localities in the district based on population. Additionally, each district committee can elect three more members from local committees and one member of the Virginia General Assembly. The Central Committee is "reorganized" every four years following the election for Governor. The last reorganization was held in March of 2022.^[5]

In addition, the following people are ex-officio members of the Central Committee and their District Committees:

• Members of the steering committee
• Democratic Virginia members of the United States Congress
• Democratic statewide elected officials, such as Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General
• the President Pro Tempore of the Virginia Senate and the Speaker of the House of Delegates, provided they are Democrats
• the Democratic Leaders of the Virginia House and Senate
• the Chairs of the Democratic Caucuses in Virginia the House and Senate
• the president, national committeeman, and national committeewoman of the Virginia Young Democrats
• the president and first vice president of the Women's Caucus
• the chair of the Association of Democratic Elected Officials
• the chair of the Virginia Young Democrats Teen Caucus
• the chair of the Virginia Young Democrats College Caucus
• and the chair of the Virginia Young Democrats City/County Caucus^[6]

Local Democratic Committees

Local Democratic Committees serve to promote the Democratic Party in their specific locality. Some committees may contain several localities. Local committees may endorse candidates for nonpartisan office (such as school board) and assist in campaigning for their candidate.

2019 Virginia political crisis

In 2019, all three of Virginia's statewide executive office holders, all Democrats, were embroiled in various controversies. Governor Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook page had featured an individual in blackface and an individual in a Ku Klux Klan hood, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax was accused of having sexually assaulted a professor in 2004, and Attorney General Mark Herring was revealed to have worn blackface at a college party. Most Democrats urged Northam to resign from the governorship, but he refused. Ultimately, none of the three accused resigned.^[7]
