We as a people, as a state, and as a community have too much promise, too much potential and too much at stake to go any other way but forward. - Governor Bill Richardson
For more than 200 years, Democrats have represented the interests of working families, fighting for equal opportunities and justice for all Americans.
Our party was founded on the conviction that wealth and privilege shouldn’t be an entitlement to rule and the belief that the values of hardworking families are the values that should guide us.
We didn’t become the most prosperous country in the world by rewarding greed and recklessness or by letting those with the most influence write their own rules. We got here by rewarding hard work and responsibility, by investing in people, and by growing our country from the bottom up.
Today Democrats are fighting to repair a decade of damage and grow an economy based on the values of Main Street, not greed and reckless speculation. Democrats are focused on rescuing our economy not just in the short run but also rebuilding our economy for the long run—an economy that lifts up not just some Americans, but all Americans.
Here in Racine County, and in all counties around Wisconsin, Democrats are working together to move our state forward. It is only by showing that Democrats represent all people - not only the wealthy - that we will succeed. In Racine County, our Democratic Party is comprised of small business owners, people of faith, hunters and anglers, veterans, the wealthy and the working class. Our backgrounds may be different, but our ideals bind us together.
