About Us

Who We Are

The Bastrop County Democratic Party (BCDP) has a very simple and basic goal.  We want to build the BCDP base so all Texans can share in the dream of a better life – regardless of race, gender, religion, age, ethnicity, disability or sexual orientation.  BCDP hopes that you’ll join us in this effort and take an active role in bringing Bastrop County back into the Democratic fold. Please donate securely through our Act Blue web link in the left column and help fund our efforts to promote the Democratic message.  We hope that the information on our website will encourage you to help us elect Democrats at the local, state, and federal levels. Together, we can make a difference. Let us know how we can assist you,

Democrats Believe

  • In quality health care for all Texans, especially our children
  • In equality for all citizens.
  • In a fair and realistic, but enforced, immigration policy.
  • In clean air and water, and protecting our environment.
  • In a living wage for honest, hard work.
  • In the importance of collective bargaining and organization and labor unions.
  • In freedom from governmental interference in our private lives and personal decisions.
  • In preserving fundamental constitutional rights, including the right to privacy, the right to worship as we see fit, and the separation of Church and State.
  • In alleviating the blight of poverty.
  • In fairness in our tax system.
  • In security for our homes, neighborhoods, ports, and nation.
  • In honoring our veterans and treating them fairly on their return, with quality medical care and other veterans benefits.
