Democratic Party News

To continue spreading the message of Change and Hope as laid out by our new President, I believe we Democrats must become the Party that is literally driven by the people, where they feel a sense of ownership. To do this, we must structure our Party around the twin tenets of accessibility and transparency. In the weeks and months ahead, we will make our case to the people of Hamilton County. We will re-connect with our community organizations, neighborhood associations, religious leaders, and youth groups. Only by establishing a personal dialogue with our friends and neighbors can we truly grasp the issues that are important to them, and in so doing demonstrate why we are the Party of the people. — Jeff Brown, Party Chairman
