our mission
The mission of the Linn County Democrats is to help elect candidates for local, state and federal government positions that believe in common-sense, American values and the protection of those values for all of our citizens.
We believe that respect for these values, in actions not just words, will make Iowa a better place to live and our country more united. Among these values, Linn County Democrats support are:
-
-
- Respect for the U.S. Constitution and its amendments
- Equality in the eyes of the law
- Protecting the civil liberties for all of our citizens
- Protecting our environment and natural resources
- Creating jobs and raising incomes for all Iowa families, not just the wealthy
- Protecting the rights of American workers
- Quality, affordable education to ensure Iowa’s children and displaced workers can compete for the jobs of tomorrow
