Why I am a Democrat

      A major difference between democrats and republicans is the role of government in supporting our families and institutions. Here is a summary of beliefs most democrats share:

Opportunity

    • Education
      • Public education is of fundamental importance to our economic health. Education must be fully funded, class sizes manageable, student expectations high, and control should be local with high parental involvement. 
      • Public education must remain universal and free, this levels the playing field and gives each person the chance to develop to their full potential. Without this the private market becomes unfair, the talents and skills of many are wasted, and our economic growth will suffer.
