Hanover Democratic Committee

The Hanover County Democratic Committee is committed to reaching out to the community, building a broad-based political committee, and raising money to nominate and run candidates for federal, state, and local office. Located in Virginia, electing Democrats is the key to making our country the best it can be for all citizens.

 

Mission statement
Our mission is to encourage and engage community support for candidates committed to core Democratic ideals through education, civic participation, and voter registration.

Vision
The HDC aims to promote Democratic policies, principles, and values in Hanover County; to expand the numbers of Democratic voters in Hanover County and represent their diversity; and to be the party of inclusion and encourage equality and equity for people of every race, religion, income, sexual orientation, gender identity, and ability. We believe that by working together through democratic government we can achieve beneficial ends that make citizens lives better and our communities stronger.
