Across the county, people are doing their best to make ends meet. Families worry about healthcare bills, seniors worry about staying in their homes, parents worry about their children’s schools, and young people wonder whether they’ll be able to build a future right here. We are a party that supports an affordability agenda to help make life more affordable across our county, focusing on lowering the five core costs for hardworking Americans:

1) Healthcare: advocating for broader access to affordable insurance

2) Housing: supporting first-time homebuyers and rent relief programs to lower costs

3) Energy: Protecting paychecks from unstable pricing

4) Family Care: Providing reliable childcare for working families

5) Household Essentials: Reducing grocery costs

Let's work together to make essentials less expensive.

 

We see to promote the interest and voice of groups that have been historically marginalized because of such factors of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, faith tradition, age, and physical disability. Many of us are guided by faith traditions that teach us to love our neighbors, look out for the least among us, and leave things better than we found them. Others are guided by a deep sense of fairness and decency. We honor and respect all of those paths. These aren’t political talking points — they’re everyday concerns.

The Laurens County Democratic Party is committed to building a county where every person can live honestly, work hard with dignity, raise a family safely, and grow older with security. That’s not politics — that’s being a good neighbor.
