What We Believe In

The Adams County Democratic Party is grounded in our values!

We believe that everyone should be a good person and not do harm to others. We are fighting to ensure that the lives of each and every member of our community are respected. We are working hard to protect our neighbors' human rights!

1. Defending Democracy

Democracy is built upon the rule of law, due process, and respect for the human rights for all people. Authoritarianism stifles civil liberties, freedom of speech and the press, and demolishes the institutions that we rely on. We are fighting everyday to stop the rising tide of authoritarianism in our own back yard.

2. Preventing Gun Violence

Students should not be afraid to attend school. Parents should feel safe when their children are at school. Domestic violence victims deserve to be protected from their abusers. We should all be able to go about our daily lives in peace. We are fighting for common sense solutions to prevent gun violence in our community.

3. Protecting Human Rights

America is the Land of the Free, but our rights are now in jeopardy. We are fighting to protect your civil and human rights!

4. Equal Access to Public Education

Education is essential for social mobility and a just society! Every individual, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the fundamental right to receive a high-quality education . We are fighting to ensure equal education access and adequate educational funding.

5. Affordable Housing for All

A safe, stable, and affordable home is a fundamental human need that serves as the foundation for well-being, economic mobility, and a healthier community overall. When families spend less on housing, they have more income to spend on local goods and services like groceries, dining out, and shopping, which directly supports local businesses and stimulates the economy right here in Adams County.

6. Protect Healthcare and Our Safety Net

Right now, extremist lawmakers are pushing to cut Medicaid, food assistance, and essential services—while protecting billionaires and corporations. We believe in a government that takes care of people, not profits. In Adams County, we’re fighting to protect care, dignity, and economic justice for all.

7. Clean Air & Safe Drinking Water

The air we breathe in the Denver Metro Area is among the worst in the world. SMOG and other toxins are making our communities sick. Our water is contaminated with chemicals and PFAS, which causes cancer and other health problems. We are fighting for clean air and safe drinking water!

8. Tax the Rich, Fund Our Future

While billionaires and big corporations dodge taxes, working families carry the load. We’re organizing to fix the rigged system—because fair taxes mean stronger schools, better care, and real opportunity for everyone.

9. Support Our Veterans & Active Duty Military

Their courage, dedication, and unwavering commitment to duty have ensured the safety and security of our country for 250 years. Our veterans deserve adequate healthcare. Our active duty military needs to uphold our Constitution. We support the brave men and women of the armed forces!

10. Support Science

Climate change is real. Vaccines are safe and work for a vast majority of people. Medical decisions are best left in the hands of expert medical professionals. Weather changes are best predicted by meteorologists. We support the scientists who work hard to make our lives better everyday!
