Democratic Party of Washoe County Platform

Democrats generally have a positive view of government as a vehicle through which we continuously reformulate national, state, and local goals for our society and establish policies through which we achieve these goals. We strongly urge our elected officials to continue to promote the ideals, principles, and philosophy of the Democratic Party even in the face of intransigent opposition.

We work to create an economic, political, social, cultural, and physical environment in which individuals have the freedom and opportunity to achieve their individual goals and to pass on to the next generation an enhanced environment in its multiple dimensions. We believe freedom of religion begins with freedom from religion. Religious conviction, no matter how deeply held, does not allow anyone to impose their beliefs, values, or taboos upon others.
