Democrats believe in the power of the People.
We believe our nation’s strength is that different people can unite – working together for the good of each and for the benefit of all.
We believe that government’s role is to protect the people and ensure justice, freedom, and equal opportunity.
And we believe that by standing firm on these values, Monterey County, California, and the United States of America may reclaim our vision as a land of sustainable optimism, prosperity, and unity.
