Mission Statement

The Hyde Park Democratic Committee works to elect and support officeholders who espouse Democratic values and are committed to meeting the needs of the people and communities they serve. In furtherance of this goal, the Committee endeavors to engage Hyde Park Democrats in the political process.

Committee Values

Hyde Park Democrats believe that:

  • Government should be ethical, transparent, fiscally responsible, and responsive to the needs of the people.
  • Government should be welcoming and inclusive; each community member should be valued and treated with respect.
  • Voter access to the polls must be protected.
  • Active stewardship of the environment is both a moral and a practical imperative.

Committee Actions

  • We seek candidates who pledge to work for the common good at the respective local, regional, state, and national levels. Such candidates must exhibit strong leadership skills and public service interests guided by the values defined above.
  • We support these candidates through petitioning, fundraising, campaigning, and informing the citizenry of the qualities that make these candidates worthy of their vote.
  • We support our elected candidates by championing their ongoing work and providing them constructive feedback.
  • We represent the Hyde Park Democratic Committee and Democratic platform issues, through media and participation in community events.
  • We keep Hyde Park constituents informed of our officials’ judicial, legislative, and administrative accomplishments.
