OUR STORY

For nearly a century, Tuscarawas County was a bellwether, voting with the winning presidential candidate almost every time from 1916 to 2012. Like much of industrial Ohio, the decline of manufacturing reshaped how this region votes. But counties change, and so can the road ahead. We believe this county's story isn't finished being written.

the foundation of our work

WHAT WE BELIEVE

As a party, we have adopted the Democratic Creed because we understand that having a rooted identity helps us make real change.

The Democratic Creed

We Believe All people are created equal, that this is America’s fundamental ideal.

​

We Believe That America is a democracy, by and for the people: ruled by the Constitution and its interpretations, protected by the Bill of Rights, and inspired by the Declaration of Independence.

​

We Believe These founding documents demand Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity for all Americans, in full and equal measure — regardless of who you are, what you believe or where you live.

​

We Believe That the Duty of government is to strive endlessly to make the ideals of Freedom, Justice, and Opportunity a reality for all.

​

We Believe That the Purpose of government is to protect our nation, defend our democracy, and to endlessly promote the welfare of each and every one of us.

​

We Believe That fighting for these ideals is our purpose as a political party.

These are the values that guide our work, but a creed is just words until people decide to act on it.

We're counting on you to help us do that.
