"...if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.'"
---John F. Kennedy, September 14, 1960.
ABOUT THE ESCAMBIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
While the Escambia County Democratic Party consists of every registered Democrat in the county, the Escambia Democratic Executive Committee (DEC) is the decision-making body that sets the party's overall direction. The Escambia County DEC is the official representative body of registered Democrats in Escambia County. It has supervisory power and jurisdiction over Democratic Party affairs in Escambia County, and its members serve as the "Democratic voice" of their constituency in the precinct they represent. The Escambia County DEC is responsible for turning out the vote in Escambia County, supporting our candidates, and promoting the Democratic principles that we all care about. Our top priority will be to mobilize Escambia County Democrats for the 2012 elections. We must do our part to help Democrats win our local, state and national elections. Increasing Democratic representation in our local government is essential to our future
