WHAT WE DO
We promote the integration of pro-democratic values in Bucks County and the election of highly qualified Democrats at all levels of government.
We do this through financial and on-the-ground support:
• Funding excellent Democratic candidates in key races, with specific focus on municipal, school board, county and statewide elections
• Underwriting infrastructure that will increase our party's strength in Bucks County and grow our bench of electable candidates
• Backing the work of informing, energizing, and mobilizing pro-democracy voters now and for the long-term
• Championing the Bucks County Democratic Committee and its initiatives to expand the party base
We are proud to say that our support has been instrumental in the flipping of many state, county, local, and school board seats.
WHY BUCKS COUNTY MATTERS
Bucks County is the perennial swing county in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Located in southeast Pennsylvania, Bucks was Republican dominated for decades. Starting in the early 2010’s, Democrats flipped many seats, including gaining control of the county and many municipal boards. Now Democrats are losing ground again. Democratic candidates lost all county-wide races and many local and school board races in November 2021. Bucks County is trending RED. Reversing this trend would mean our best and perhaps the only chance to flip the PA legislature to a Democratic majority - the first since 1994.
Bucks County is 4th most populous county in Pennsylvania.
It's also the oldest, least diverse, and most "purple" compared to the 3 largest counties - and it provides a critical margin in determining state-wide elections such as governor and U.S. senator as well as flipping the state house and state senate.
Bucks County is a critical firewall against state legislative overreach in Pennsylvania
The conservative majority on the US Supreme Court has ceded major decisions on voting rights, women's reproductive rights, privacy, and gun safety (among others) to the states and continues its efforts to do so. Our only defense is to ensure that the Pennsylvania State Legislature is not dominated by the Republican Party. In Bucks County, Republicans still hold 50% of state representative seats and the majority of state senate seats. This makes us a pivotal change agent. It is our responsibility to hold the Democratic seats we have and flip as many of these Republican seats as possible in 2024.
