Democrats are the party of opportunity, dedicated to helping every American achieve the promise of freedom, success and financial security.

Throughout our history, Democrats have fought against the special interests and for the needs of America's working families. To help Americans work and retire in dignity, Democrats passed legislation creating Social Security and Medicare, affordable college loans, the G.I. Bill, the 40-hour work week, and family and medical leave.

Today, we are still fighting for those who are working and those who are looking for work, for parents, for the disabled, for senior citizens, and for our children. We believe diversity is our country's greatest strength, and that we can work together to build a stronger, brighter future.

Our agenda is your agenda: national security, economic security, education, affordable healthcare, secure pensions and 401 (k) benefits, and a clean environment.

Do you have a story to share?

Is government making a difference in your everyday life? Do you or your community have a problem that government needs to solve?

We'd like to hear from you.
