WHAT FREDERICK COUNTY DEMOCRATS STAND FOR
________

ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
Everyone must have access to good jobs and fair workplaces. We support living wages, job training, fair hiring, and workers' rights, including the right to join unions.

HEALTHCARE
Healthcare is a basic human right. We support universal coverage, full access to preventive and mental health care, and the right for everyone to make their own health and body decisions, including reproductive and gender-affirming care.

EDUCATION
Strong public education is a right of every individual, with safe and welcoming schools and libraries, fair pay for teachers, and support staff. We work to make college and technical schools affordable and end predatory student loans.

ENVIRONMENT
Every person has a right to clean air, water, and open spaces. We support sustainable farming and push for policies that address climate change.

HOUSING
Everyone has a right to fair, affordable, and safe housing. We support creative solutions to address the chronically unhoused, promote home ownership, tenant protections, fair lending, and fight discrimination.

VOTING RIGHTS
Free and fair elections are critical to our country's democracy. We advocate to protect voting rights, support campaign finance reform, promote fair representation, and ensure that people pick their elected officials, not the other way around.
