About Us

In coordination with the Ohio Democratic Party, the mission and principles of the Jefferson County Democratic Party are:

• We believe that the best government is one that is efficient, yet understanding  – a government that is based not on systems or bureaucracies, but on people, ideas, and values.
• We believe there is no substitute for fair and equal representation and strong public participation in a government chosen by election.
• We believe that all Ohioans reap benefits when we, as a state, meet challenges together. We believe in the equality of all Ohio citizens and condemn any discrimination.
• We believe in a society that strengthens Ohio’s families and protects our children.
• We believe in the rights of all Ohioans to achieve economic security and find affordable housing, to seek good jobs at a livable wage, and protection for our workers in a growing, robust economy.
• We believe in a society that puts the health, safety, and prosperity of its citizens first, one that promotes excellence in education, choices in quality health care and a healthy environment for all Ohio citizens.
• We believe in a society that values community and protects all Ohio citizens from violence and crime.
• We believe in a society that respects our elders, who deserve the right to retire with the resources they need and have earned to support themselves in their golden years.
• And we believe in pursuing these ideals with honesty and integrity, with respect for the freedoms that we in Ohio are proud to call our own.
