SARASOTA COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY
What We Stand For
Your Values. Your Vision. Your Voice.
“Our goal is to build the Democratic base at the precinct and county levels so that all residents of Sarasota County share in the dream of a better life—regardless of race, gender, religion, age, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation. We are working to turn Sarasota County BLUE!!!
Our mission is to encourage the fullest possible participation of all Democratic voters and to disseminate the Democratic message, platform and philosophy. One of the most important duties the Sarasota County Democratic Party performs is to interview and develop qualified, principled Democratic candidates for public office.”

- Because Sarasota County Democrats believe in a smart, sensible role for county government; that governmental action should be focused on bringing better jobs, higher wages and affordable housing choices to the county. All three components—jobs, wages and housing—are essential for a strong economy that will improve people’s lives.
- Because Sarasota County Democrats believe in responsible growth in Sarasota County—a growing population and growing economy benefit us all.
- Because Sarasota County Democrats believe new development must protect Sarasota County’s quality of life by preserving sensitive environmental land and wildlife corridors. Our future and that of future generations depends upon environmental sustainability.
- Because Sarasota County Democrats believe affordable, high quality health care is a vital part of the American promise and should be available to all individuals.
- Because Sarasota County Democrats believe in education excellence in which all children from early childhood through college have access to a world-class public education, regardless of their disabilities, exceptionalities, or their parent’s economic standing. In addition, technical education and worker retraining for adults must be offered to ensure everyone has a chance to succeed in the modern economy.
Sarasota County Democrats have Your Values. Your Vision. Your Voice.
