Located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, the Jefferson Parish Democratic Executive Committee affiliates with and advances the interests of the Democratic Party. We stand for open, inclusive, constitutional government in Jefferson Parish. We unflinchingly advocate for human and civil rights, equal justice and equal opportunity for all, quality health care and quality schools for all, environmental protection and preservation of quality-of-life services. We support elected officials and political candidates who uphold these core values of the Democratic Party.  

The Session of Shame Ends. Our Mission Is Clear.

Folks, the legislative special session of shame has ended with tax breaks for big business, paltry assistance for front-line responders, legal limitations on our rights to recover damages in car accidents (with no guarantees rates will be lower), no meaningful action on police reform, and projections of lower state revenue that down the line will almost certainly lead to more cuts in services, health care, education, more.

But it could have been worse, without one-time federal aid and John Bel Edwards blunting some of the most egregious Republican schemes on behalf of the business lobby. Now, we must work hard to elect more Democrats and more progressive thinkers, starting in Jefferson Parish -- at all levels. Please stay tuned for more events and discussions.

Saturday (July 11) is Election Day!
