The Windems seek to bring the Democratic perspective to Windham and the Southern Tier.  Frankly, it is not always easy or comfortable to speak boldly as a Democrat in our Republican-minded district.  However, we have found that the conversations, once started, are often fruitful.  We seek to provide an opportunity for those conversations both on a one-to-one level and on a community-level to build respect and rapport and to work toward solutions.
Our beliefs are to:
  1. Develop fiscally and socially responsible budgets to control taxes while protecting quality of life in Windham
  2. Support our public school system so that it will prepare our children to be productive, responsible citizens
  3. Advocate for equality, civil rights, and the humane treatment of all people, and respect and celebrate diversity in our community
  4. Recognize that climate change poses a real and urgent threat to our economy, our national security, and our children’s health and futures, and we must commit to addressing the crisis
  5. Advocate for resources that support the health and safety of Windham residents
  6. Promote smart-growth economic policies that support local businesses, protect residential neighborhoods, and respect the environment
  7. Identify and address veterans’ and senior citizens’ needs
  8. Effectively represent local citizens and businesses in dealings with the state, county, and federal government
  9. Support regional initiatives, encouraging our many municipalities to work together to solve common problems for the sake of efficiency and community spirit
Our efforts aim to:
  1. Educate ourselves and the public on relevant issues
  2. Study and influence local, state, and federal legislation of concern to Windham
  3. Study and recommend improvements in local government
  4. Build local activism
  5. Engage Democrats in our area through membership to the committee
  6. Engage Windham’s young adults, as they will be the future of the Democratic Party and of the Windham community

  8. Recruit Democrats to run for local, county, state, and federal office
  9. Elect Democrats to office and recommend Democrats for appointive offices
