Columbia Democrats Annual Campaign Trip

The annual campaign trip of the Democrats is coordinated by the Columbia College Democrats Activist Council and is held over the Election Day weekend.

The first campaign trip took place in 2004 and was the work of Elizabeth Brown and Seth Flaxman. The trip to Lorain County, Ohio, was bankrolled partially by Sherrod Brown and was enormously successful, though the rest of the state was less fortunate. In 2005, the trip moved to Virginia and the successful gubernatorial bid of Tim Kaine. The 2006 trip returned to Ohio, this time for Brown's own successful senatorial race against incumbent Mike DeWine. The destination of the 2007 trip has not yet been decided.
