Issues
As Democrats, we believe every person in this nation deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. We believe that health care is a right for all and that the hard work of middle-class families should be rewarded. We believe our schools and streets should be free from gun violence and that a woman’s decisions about her own body are hers to make. At the DCDP, we are working together to build a bright future for everyone. We are fighting for the soul of our country, the heart of our democracy, and America’s place as the land of opportunity for all.
Democrats aim to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out, creating jobs, investing in infrastructure, manufacturing, and clean energy, and supporting small businesses and farmers. We emphasize tax fairness, cutting costs for families, and reducing corporate greed.
Economic Growth
The Biden administration has implemented the most aggressive climate agenda in history, focusing on clean energy, reducing pollution, environmental justice, and climate resilience. Democrats aim to continue these efforts and maintain global climate leadership.
Climate Action
Democrats passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and aim to implement universal background checks, ban assault weapons, and fund community violence intervention programs. We support accountable community policing and criminal justice reform.
Gun Safety and Public Safety
Democrats are committed to reproductive freedom, racial equity, LGBTQI+ rights, disability rights, and combating hate. We aim to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade, expand access to health care, and fight discrimination.
Protecting Rights and Equity
Democrats advocate for securing the border, reforming the asylum system, expanding legal immigration pathways, and providing a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and long-term undocumented individuals.
Immigration Reform
The Biden administration has focused on bipartisan issues like combating the opioid epidemic, investing in mental health care, holding Big Tech accountable, ending cancer as we know it, and supporting veterans and military families.
Unity Agenda
President Biden has strengthened alliances, supported Ukraine against Russian aggression, countered China's unfair practices, and promoted democracy and human rights worldwide. We emphasize diplomacy, multilateral cooperation, and responsible competition with China.
Global Leadership
Military Strength
Democrats prioritize maintaining the strongest military in the world, modernizing defense capabilities, supporting service members and their families, and responsibly managing nuclear weapons
Democrats aim to protect voting rights, end gerrymandering, and combat the influence of special interests in elections. We oppose efforts to undermine democracy and political freedoms.
