MISSION STATEMENT
MOVING FORWARD
Virginia Democrats work diligently to move the Commonwealth forward and ensure democracy, integrity, inclusiveness, confidence, prosperity, access, and freedom for all Virginians. When you imagine a better life for your children and their children, moving forward is the only option to create change and implement a better future for those who will live on after us. Democrats fight to repair the soul of this nation. We do not desire to have our country return to the past but aspire to unite and heal our country. We must be bolder and more ambitious to forge a stronger, brighter, and more equitable future.
​
The Democratic Party of Virginia facilitates and encourages all Virginians' full participation in choosing their elected officials and controlling their political destiny. It is dedicated to preserving all the rights enumerated in Article One of the Constitution of Virginia. A democratic society can only function well with citizens who embrace both their rights and their responsibilities; by working to elect public officials who address the needs of all people, Democrats serve our Commonwealth as responsible citizens.
​
Moving forward together is the path to a better Virginia tomorrow. We hope you'll join us on that path.
