What it means to be a Democrat

Democrats are people you see in your community, at work, at your place of worship, at the store and at the ballpark.  We come from all walks of life, but our shared beliefs and values help shape a strong county, state and nation where every citizen has the opportunity to succeed.

We believe:

-   In equal opportunity for all citizens.

-   In rewarding honest, hard work with a living wage and in a tax system that is fair.

-   In family values that are more than a political slogan.

-   In quality education that gives all citizens the opportunity to reach their potential.

-   In freedom from government interference in our private lives and personal decisions.

-   That individual strengths in our diverse population are a benefit.

-   In security in our homes and safety on our streets.  Criminals should face swift and certain punishment.

-   In separation of Church and State to preserve the freedom to pursue our beliefs.

-   In a strong United States - morally, economically and militarily.

-   In common-sense reforms that give us cleaner and safer air and water.
