STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES

Our key commitment is to preservation, extension and enforcement of the broad spectrum of our residents’ rights.  Democratic-led local governments in the Colonial Area and Montgomery County have consistently delivered on these principles for our residents. Colonial Area Democrats are committed to accelerating and extending that success in 2024 and beyond.
