Cumberland County Democratic Committee

Dear Fellow Democrat:

Welcome to the website of the Democratic Party of Cumberland County!

Isn’t it funny how history repeats itself? Here we are in the 21st Century, decades removed from the New Deal, and we are facing many of the same challenges as a nation and a people that our grandparents and great-grandparents faced over 75 years ago. These are turbulent times and the country faces obstacles and issues those people could have never imagined. But you know what, they could certainly share in our common belief that if you want problems solved and your lives bettered, well then you better put the Democrats in charge.

The faith that Pennsylvanians and all Americans have put in our party and our president to lead is nothing new. It is a renewal of common sense and a strong belief that hope is a palpable thing that makes America run. The cynics out there can sneer, but all of us feel better when we have leaders that help us to paint a positive world, not pit us against each other.

Right now, we as Democrats must produce results. We must show why our ideas and programs work, and that the results of November 2008 were smart and right. Every Democrat must play a role and it all starts locally. I ask for your time, your talents and your help in bringing us forward. We can’t let Cumberland County down just like our leaders in Harrisburg and Washington can’t let the country down, so join me in building this party.

We are Democrats. It is our natural inclination to move forward. Join us, use this web site and let’s make Cumberland County and America a place where hope still counts.

Sincerely,

Gail McDermott
