Title
New York State Democratic Committee
Description
Launched in 1792 by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison during an expedition along the Hudson River, the Democratic Party today continues to offer New Yorkers and Americans across our nation hope and opportunity. As Ron Brown, former Chairman of the Democratic Party, wrote:
"The common thread of Democratic history, from Thomas Jefferson to Bill Clinton, has been an abiding faith in the judgment of hardworking American families, and a commitment to helping the excluded, the disenfranchised and the poor strengthen our nation by earning themselves a piece of the American Dream.”
Democrats understand the value of hard work, education, and opportunity. That’s why every single day, across New York state and in Washington, D.C., Democrats are working hard to bring more people into the economic mainstream, to improve our public schools, to protect our homeland, to make quality health care accessible, and to keep our air and water clean. And it's not just elected officials who are fighting for these enduring values -- it's committed citizens in communities across New York and America.
