The Jackson County Democratic Committee is all volunteer all the time. We are funded by local people like you who visit our website. We also host fundraisers.
These are the values and principles that unite our group of local volunteers:
Economic Security:
The JCDC advocates for policies that help all people achieve security. The JCDC aim for everyone to live with basic human dignity. Recent legislative efforts in Michigan have targeted providing “real financial relief.” This includes the Working Families Tax Credit. They repealed the retirement tax. Additionally, they ended taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security for eligible Michiganders.
Democratic Principles:
The JCDC emphasizes the principle of “People – giving service to the needs and aspirations of all people.” It also highlights “Democracy – working for equal opportunity for access.” It ensures full participation of all elements of society in all political and governmental processes.
Fighting for Families and Veterans:
The party focuses on putting Michigan issues first and fighting for families, seniors, students, and veterans. Recent Senate Democratic initiatives include significant investments and policy wins for Michigan veterans and securing emergency support for SNAP recipients.
Inclusive Environment:
The JCDC aims to create an open and inclusive environment. It has a code of conduct that prohibits discrimination. The code also prohibits bullying or harassment.
Government Accountability:
The platform supports an open, honest, and responsive government. It advocates for measures like making government budget information available online. It also supports providing details about elected officials.
Support for Workers:
The state has a large number of manufacturing jobs. Democrats are seen as supporting workers. This perception is often due to strong support from unions.
We welcome all supporters of democracy—whether you can contribute financially or not. Membership is available through monthly or yearly donations.
