Democratic Values
The purpose of the Mason County Democrats is to help elect Local, State, and National leaders who work for equality, justice, security, and opportunity for all. To this end, the organization welcomes those who believe in an individual’s right to choose, the rule of law, the Constitution of the United States, and the principles of the Democratic Party.
We work to promote government effectiveness and to further the success of the Party in national, state, and county elections. We strive to educate our members and the public about Democratic Party principles, support local Party officials, and build and maintain an effective local Democratic organization that recruits, assists, and elects candidates to office who share Party values.
