As Democrats, we believe that good government exists to improve the quality of people’s lives by: 
  • Protecting equal rights
  • ensuring public safety
  • providing vital services
  • supporting economic development
  • maintaining programs for the most vulnerable segments of the community.

As Democrats, we pledge to act and speak with integrity and civility, always striving for common ground with those whose views are different. ​
