What We Stand For

The Erath County Democratic Party aligns with the Texas Democratic Party's 2024 Platform. Here are some highlights of what we believe - and what we think all Americans deserve:
We believe every Texas has inalienable rights that a majority may not take away
  • the right to vote
  • the right to fair and open participation and representation in the democratic process
  • the right to privacy.

We believe in
  • freedom
  • responsibility
  • equal rights
  • equal opportunity for all Texans
  • a growing economy that benefits all Texans
  • our lives, homes, communities, and country are made secure

We believe in a United States
  • made stronger by the men and women who put their lives on the line when it is necessary to engage our military to secure our nation,
  • that holds our elected officials accountable to doing the same through honoring our "Sacred Trust" to our Veterans, Active Duty Personnel, and their Family Members.
  • made more secure by competent diplomatic leadership that uses the moral, ethical, economic assets of a powerful, free nation to avoid unnecessary military conflict.

We believe in a Texas
  • made stronger by the contributions of our diverse population and by including all people equitably
  • blessed with economic opportunities provided by agriculture, "old" and "new" energy sources, renowned medical and research institutions, small businesses, innovative entrepreneurs, and high tech industries
  • and we believe in an honest, ethical state government that serves the public interest, not the special interests of those who "pay to play".
