Because Protecting Democracy Takes all of Us
Welcome to Grand Democrats
Honoring those who shape our future: Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4–8
Teaching is one of the most profound acts of democracy. When a teacher walks into a classroom, they carry with them a belief that every child — regardless of zip code, background, or circumstance — deserves the tools to think critically, participate fully, and build a better life. That belief is at the heart of what Democrats stand for.​

President - On The Record
November 2025
Dear Grand Dems & Friends, As I end my two-year term as Grand Dems President, I am reminded of how old I am, 80, and what I have witnessed during my lifetime.
​
My family got our first TV in 1951, and I had the opportunity as a 7-year-old to watch the 1952 convention electing Adlie E Stevenson, Democrat of Illinois, as the Presidential Democratic Candidate. Of course, he ran two unsuccessful campaigns against the popular Dwight D Eisenhower (R). The popular “We Like Ike” theme won the day twice. And as a kid, glued to the radio, I was fine with that.
Living Our Democratic Values
The Grand Democrats work to help elect candidates by:
​
Meeting and listening to invited Democratic candidates and elected officials. We invite them to speak at our general membership meetings and other events. Be sure to check out our calendar to keep up do date on all of our upcoming events.
Organizing candidate rallies to help inform voters by hearing candidates present their ideas and views.
