We are officially neutral
The purpose of the Bastrop County Democratic Party (BCDP), acting by and through the County Executive Committee (CEC), is to carry out the national and Texas Democratic Party’s principles, policies, and platforms at the county level. In addition, its purpose is to educate and inform Bastrop County voters about the Democratic candidates/nominees running for office in local, district, and statewide offices.
As such, it is the policy of BCDP or its officers, in an official capacity, not to endorse, promote, or favor one Democratic candidate over another. As a party, we support all Democrats in an effort to help elect the best representation for Bastrop County and Texas.
At the same time, the party supports the right of individuals to support any candidate as long as they are not acting in an official capacity.

“I believe in active citizenship, for men and women equally, as a simple matter of right and justice. I believe we will have better government in all of our countries when men and women discuss public issues together and make their decisions on the basis of their different areas of experience and their common concern for the welfare of their families and their world.”
– Eleanor Roosevelt
