Mission Statement

At the Obion County Democratic Party, we are committed to building a stronger, more inclusive, and forward-thinking community. Our priorities focus on policies that uplift working families, protect individual rights, and foster economic growth that benefits everyone.

In addition to supporting the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Tennessee Democratic Party (TNDP) platforms, we are dedicated to advancing the following core principles:

Integrity in Government and Leadership

We believe that government should be transparent, accountable, and serve the people—not corporate interests. Elected officials must uphold the highest ethical standards, prioritize the needs of their constituents, and ensure that democracy works for everyone.

Investing in Public Education

A strong public education system is the foundation of a thriving democracy and economy. We advocate for fully funded public schools, fair wages for educators, and equitable access to quality education for every child, regardless of their zip code.

Protecting the Environment

Climate change is real, and we must take bold action to protect our natural resources. We support policies that promote clean energy, safeguard our air and water, and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

Affordable Healthcare for All

Healthcare is a human right. We fight for expanding Medicaid, lowering prescription drug costs, and ensuring that every Tennessean has access to quality, affordable healthcare—because no one should have to choose between their health and their livelihood.

Every person deserves dignity, respect, and equal protection under the law. We stand against discrimination in all its forms and support policies that advance LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice, gender equality, and protections for marginalized communities.

Criminal Justice Reform

Our justice system must be fair and equitable for all. We support policies that reduce mass incarceration, end for-profit prisons, promote rehabilitation over punishment, and address systemic racial disparities in policing and sentencing.

Combating Disinformation

A well-informed public is essential to a functioning democracy. We stand against the spread of misinformation and propaganda, advocate for media literacy, and support policies that promote fact-based journalism and transparency in political discourse.

By championing these values, we strive to create a community where everyone—regardless of background—has the opportunity to thrive.
