Values

Freedom, Fairness, and Opportunity for all Americans, regardless of what they believe, who they are, and where they came from are the founding principles of the Chester County, Pennsylvania Democratic Committee. We strive to share these ideals within our neighborhoods, communities, county and country. We work to elect candidates who believe in these as well.

As a part of the Pennsylvania Democrats and within the National Democratic Party, It’s important as Democrats that we identify our central principles not only to guide candidates and inform voters, but also to dialogue among ourselves to reach a position of consensus and respect.

In addition, we offer the following responses based on individual topics.

For open internet: Open internet v. FCC resolution
Against gerrymandering: Fair districts v. gerrymandering resolution
For more women in office: Women in office resolution
For marijuana legalization: Cannabis legalization resolution
For statewide single payer healthcare: Single payer healthcare resolution
For the PA Dem state Committee’s June 2019 resolution “Mariner East Operations: Safety Comes First,” see summary and text here or download text here: PDSC-Resolution-on-Mariner-East-Safety.
For other resolutions of the PA State Committee, see here.
in addition, see these statements by the Chesco Young Democrats:
– Against hatred and racism, after the Charlottesville attack here.
– In favor of DACA recipients and the DREAM Act here, in English and Spanish.

All the above are subject to updating, as political and civic life do not stand still.

We understand that Democrats have a diversity of views on values and issues; we invite interested parties to offer constructive comments and input by emailing us at [email protected].
