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.
healthcare is a right,
diversity is a strength,
the economy should work for everyone,
fair elections protect us all,
and facts and truth matter.
