Polk County Neighborhood Groups

Tip O’Neill, the legendary 47th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, once said that “all politics is local.” Democrats in Polk County understand that message and the importance of connecting with our neighbors. The more informed you are, the more inspired to act our community will become. The more active Democrats become, the faster we see change at all levels of government.
​
Across Polk County, Democrats have established local neighborhood groups and we encourage you to join one in your area. Local Democrat Groups help us stay informed about the concerns of individual neighborhoods so that their voices are not lost in the crowd. Whether they are city council issues or national issues, the Democratic Party is the party of the people. We want to hear your concerns and develop action plans to fix them. Participating in a Local Democrat Group is a convenient way to get involved and have your opinion heard. Find out more here. 
The mission of the Iowa Polk County Democrats is to help elect candidates for local, state and federal government positions that believe in common sense, American values and the protection of those values for all of our citizens.​ We believe that respect for these values, in actions not just words, will make Iowa a better place to live and our country more united. Among these values, Polk County Democrats support are:
  • Respect for the U.S. Constitution and its amendments
  • Equality in the eyes of the law
  • Protecting the civil liberties for all of our citizens
  • Protecting our environment and natural resources
  • Creating jobs and raising incomes for all Iowa families, not just the wealthy
  • Protecting the rights of American workers
  • Quality, affordable education to ensure Iowa’s children and displaced workers can compete for the jobs of tomorrow
