Westport Landing Democratic Club
Celebrating Fifty years of Excellence and Democratic Pride!
The Westport Landing Democratic Club was founded in 1960 and hasn’t missed an election since. Founded by Hila “Dutch” Newman to rally the Democratic Vote in the 5th Ward and beyond, this stalwart club has helped elect Democrats up and down the ballot.
The Club has campaigned on behalf of President Kennedy in 1960, and every major campaign since. The club worked with Senator Eagleton and Congressman Bolling. Using poll workers and volunteers to drive the vote for Democrats in Kansas City, The Westport Democratic Landing Club has been instrumental in delivering the vote. When Dutch founded the club in 1960 the goal was to elect democrats and for the last fifty years that is exactly what the club has been doing!
