Our Platform

Mission Statement

The Park County Democratic Central Committee

1. Recruit, support, and help elect candidates for public office who uphold the values and

philosophy of the Democratic Party.

2. Raise community awareness regarding issues important to the citizens of Park County, consistent with the platform of the Democratic Party.

3. Act to protect the voting rights of Park County citizens and promote free and fair elections.

4. Advocate on behalf of Park County residents on issues important to Democratic principles in order to promote, pass, and enact legislation.

United By a Common Goal

The Park County Democratic Central Committee works with county, state, and the national Democratic Committees to uphold the doctrines of the U.S. Constitution. We seek to ensure equality for all, including access to education and health care; dependable employment with a living wage; privacy of persons, property, and communications; and our right to participate in the democratic process. We work cooperatively within our communities to improve the lives of our citizens, our environment, and our world.

We constantly encourage citizens to engage in the democratic process, to become informed voters—and to vote. Currently, we also participate in twice yearly Adopt-a-Highway clean ups as well as in the annual Spring Trail Clean Up program.

Please join us at our regular meetings on the second Tuesday of each month, from 5:30- 6:30 pm at the Park County Livingston Public Library.

We always welcome new members!

Meet at Timber Trails (309 W. Park in Livingston)

It's that time of year, where the snow has thawed and the crown jewel of trails in the valley needs our love and attention.

We are planning a trail ride work plan prior and will be enforcing National Forest Sevice trail maintenance guidelines on the day.

Expected meeting location is in Livingston - to organise tools and groups, but anyone can meet us out at the Trail Head as well. Message Timber Trails for questions and plan to bring the whole family!

Film Screening in Livingston: "Windfall"

6 pm to 9 pm
Livingston Park County Library

Here is the announcement from Montana Women For:
We've been following the proposed Crazy Mountain Wind Farm, which would have impacted area residents, wildlife, and businesses, and are relieved to see that this project seems to have been tabled indefinitely. We're concerned, however, that the project may resurface—or that others like it will be proposed in sensitive areas of Park and Sweet Grass Counties.

With that in mind, we're planning a movie night at the Livingston Public Library. The movie we'll be showing is "Windfall." This documentary tells the story of a community in upstate New York that initially welcomes the idea of wind energy, but ultimately opposes the development of a wind farm in its neighborhood. The trailer can be seen on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBYjZG8O6qE

Ross Crandall, research biologist at Craighead Beringia South, will give a brief talk on the area's importance for nesting golden eagles, and the adverse effects that wind farms have on these magnificent birds. We're hoping that a lively discussion will follow the showing of the film.

We invite you to join us on July 12th at 6:00 pm at the Livingston Park County Public Library Steveson Room downstairs for our showing of "Windfall."

Montana Women For. . . is a 501(c)3 in Livingston, Montana. We've been working together for more than a decade to bring issues worthy of discussion to the attention of area residents. Please feel free to contact us with your questions or suggestions.

Community Outreach and Programs

The Park County Democratic Central Committee is dedicated to enhancing our community through various projects; one which is Adopt-a-Highway. On Saturday, May 19th, ten members collected 66 bags of trash, two RV awnings, tires, sleds, and assorted other items that littered I-90. We participate in this event at least twice a year and hope to inspire other groups and citizens to join us in keeping our highways clean and our community healthy. Take a look through our PHOTO GALLERY above to see our volunteers in action.
