Why are Faulkner county democrats important in nonpartisan positions?
Many members of our local government are elected by people like you, and me, but also by your neighbor with opposing views. And while county parties do not endorse individual candidates for these positions, we do endorse fair and inclusive representation within our local government . It is imperative that Democratic strategies and policies are considered where decisions are made, voted on, and implemented. In recent years there has been added pressure to vote solely along party lines in lieu of what’s right and good. This is why having balanced and inclusive representation is so important as they can directly impact your neighborhood, your school curriculum, your library programs, your emergency resources, infrastructure investments, community enrichment programs, public safety, workforce development, and climate adaptation and mitigation.
