The Women’s Democratic Club of Clark County (“WDC”) was chartered in 1955
by the Clark County Democratic Party:
- To foster loyalty in our country and respect for the flag and to assist in developing the highest concept of patriotism;
- To encourage membership in the Democratic Party;
- To assist in the election of Democratic candidates to all political offices;
- To assist the Democratic National, State and County Central Committees

Over its long and proud history, WDC has supported the candidacy of women for Congress, the Clark County Commission, Constitutional offices, City Councils, the Nevada State Senate and Assembly, the Nevada Supreme Court, the judiciary and all women elected to every aspect of government (i.e. local, county, state and national office) and positions in the Nevada State and County Democratic Party (i.e. National Committeewoman, Chair, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer). WDC’s list of Past Presidents and the roster of members is an impressive tribute to the contributions the club has made to local and national government as well as to the Party.
On August 26, 2011, the Women's Democratic Club of Clark County celebrated Women's Equality Day honoring “Women Who Were First.”. The honorees were Democratic women who were elected to serve in public offices. The Special Honoree was Justice Miriam Shearing. Justice Shearing was the first Democratic woman elected to Justice Court, District Court and the Supreme Court of Nevada. She served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and has been a “first” throughout her career not just as a Democrat but as a woman! Justice Shearing broke through the all-male bastion of the Nevada judiciary not just once, but four times: first, as a juvenile court referee then as a justice of the peace, a district court judge and finally, a justice on the Nevada Supreme Court.
In addition to Justice Shearing, the event recognized fifteen outstanding Democratic Women Who Were First. The honorees were: Judge Karen Bennett Haron, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, Hon. Loretta Bowman-Hunt, Hon. Barbara Buckley, Hon. Frankie Sue Del Papa, Hon. Thalia Dondero, County Treasurer Laura Fitzpatrick, Hon. Liliam Lujan Hickey, Hon. Jan Jones, Assemblywoman Dina Neal, Presiding Judge Gloria Sanchez, Hon. Dina Titus, Assemblywoman Olivia Diaz, Assemblywoman Teresa Benitez Thompson, Assemblywoman Irene Bustamante Adams and Chief Judge Natalie L. Tyrrell.
