Key reasons for being a Democrat include:
Economic Security: The party works for policies that ensure those who work hard can achieve economic security and live with basic human dignity. Recent legislative efforts in Michigan have focused on providing “real financial relief,” such as the Working Families Tax Credit, repealing the retirement tax, and ending 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” and “Democracy – working for equal opportunity for access and 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, with a code of conduct that prohibits discrimination, bullying, or harassment.
Government Accountability: The platform supports an open, honest, and responsive government, advocating for measures like making government budget information and details about elected officials available online.
Support for Workers: With a large number of manufacturing jobs in the state, Democrats are seen as having the backs of workers, often due to strong support from unions.
The Jackson County Democratic Committee believes that government must be open, honest, responsive, and accountable to the people it serves.
