Vision & Purpose

The Democratic Vision

The Democratic Vision

The Democratic Vision

There are several core beliefs that tie our party together: Democrats believe that we're greater together than we are on our own—that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. Our party, led by diverse voices, is focused on building an economy that lifts up all Americans, not just those at the top.

That's why Democrats are working to make progress on issues like job creation, equal pay, education, healthcare, and clean energy.

Our Purpose

The Democratic Vision

The Democratic Vision

The purpose of the Canton Democratic Club is to promote social and economic justice in the Democratic Party and in our government; to further the philosophy of the Democratic Party; to elect Democrats who support this philosophy and to unite and to aid in the activities of all precinct delegates, committees, candidates and all other Democrats working to promote active participation in the Democratic Party. We also love to meet like-minded individuals and to have fun!
