Welcome to the Colorado Democratic Party! Democrats in Colorado are about empowering people and protecting the planet. We understand that the quality of life for people can be directly related to the ability to find a good job, the ability to access healthcare, afford housing and get a good education, without a lifetime of debt. We believe that after a lifetime of hard work, people deserve to retire with dignity and security. We believe that small, local businesses drive Colorado’s economy. We do not believe that corporations are people and are willing to make sure that the wealthy big corporations have to live by the same rules as you and I do. We believe in equality for all races and religions, and that consenting adults should have the freedom to love and marry whomever they chose. We love Colorado as much as you do.
We welcome your input, questions, suggestions and feedback and look forward to partnering with you to help fight for the people, freedoms and values that we hold dear. We believe all power ultimately derives from the people. Our representative democracy works best when people participate. This is your time to help shape the future of our state and our country. You will find tips and tools throughout this website designed to help get you information, events, and action items you may need to be the change you want to see in this world.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Together, we are Colorado Democrats. Our mission is to empower all Coloradans to achieve a better future, to lead the battle for democracy, to elect honorable people who will fight hard for working families, to never abandon the dream of a better tomorrow.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that if you work hard, you deserve the opportunity to earn a good life.
We believe that our economy should work for those who work hard, not just those at the top.
We believe that government should work for the people, not just the well-connected and special interests.
We believe in creating more opportunities to earn a good life and increase incomes that allow families to get ahead and save for the future.
We believe that every Coloradan should have access to affordable health care, and that no one should go broke because they get sick.
We believe all children in Colorado deserve a high quality education, regardless of family income or their zip code.
We believe in rewarding businesses that create jobs here in Colorado and do right by their workers — not special interests and irresponsible corporations.
We believe that everyone should be treated equally under the law, and everyone should have the freedom to make their own choices and live the life they want.
We believe that everyone is entitled to clean air and water, and safe, livable communities. We believe in protecting our public lands.
We believe in managing our growth to maintain the Colorado way of life. That means upgrading and modernizing our transportation, infrastructure, and our schools.
We believe that we all have a responsibility to ourselves, our families and our communities.
We believe that we have the power to change Colorado for the better.
In Solidarity,
Morgan Carroll
Chair, Colorado Democratic Party
