Home - Mon Dems

The members of our Democratic Party share core values. Confronting these issues will strengthen our country, our community, and our economy while moving us closer toward the ideal of liberty and justice for all.

Democracy

We believe in transparent, participatory democracy. Peaceful transfer of power. Protecting voting rights and the Constitution. Open primaries (independent/non-affiliated voters may vote in WV Democratic primary elections). 

Modern Infrastructure

Tens of billions in public and private investments are coming to WV due to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. New factories, roads, bridges, transit, and better jobs. Eldercare and childcare are also critical infrastructure for our families and businesses

Labor

Strengthen the voices of all workers. Improve wages, benefits, collective bargaining, safety/health, retirement security, and working conditions.

Human Rights

All are welcome here. No hate in our hollers. We promote equal opportunity for all. Law enforcement and first responders have key roles in both securing and caring for communities. We promote long-term recovery from substance use disorder in our jails, workplaces, hospitals, & beyond. 

We support restoring the constitutional right to reproductive freedom, and access to high-quality reproductive health care services.

Public Education & Families

High-quality, free public education requires greater investment in public schools. We honor and support teachers and school service personnel. Reduce student debt. Expand early childhood and after-school programs. Oppose privatization of public schools. Improve childcare & foster care.

Healthcare for All

Quality, affordable healthcare is a basic human right. Millions of citizens have affordable healthcare because of the Affordable Care Act. Creating a high-quality, affordable public option will yield more competition & better healthcare outcomes.

Energy & Environment

Efficient, sustainable development is good for workers, businesses, households, and public health. Reduce energy costs through new tech. Reducing emissions can occur with all fuel sources. Conserve natural resources. Protect special places. Polluters should pay for the costs of their business.

Public Health

Invest in protecting public health, including food security, access to nature, and the physical, mental, and social health of all.

Immigration

Part of our heritage as West Virginians. We support secure borders and immigration law reform. We also have a spirit of grace and mercy toward refugees facing cruelty and exile. Migration can bring economic opportunity.

Global Leadership

U.S. foreign policy must advance America’s security, prosperity, and values. We honor our veterans and military. Internationally, we support democracy, labor (fair trade), human rights, and America’s alliances.

Ultimately, we adhere to the values and the policies contained within the platforms of the West Virginia Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party.
