15th Ward Democrats: "Why I'm a Democrat" -- Richard Buthod

Our Mission

We believe the vitality of a democratic government depends upon the fullest participation of its citizens in the political process.
We believe in the Democratic Party.
We believe in the City of St. Louis and its citizens.
We believe that the citizens of the 15th Ward, given the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the issues, initiatives and candidates, should directly determine the recommendations, endorsements and positions of their Ward Organization.
We believe that a truly democratic Ward Organization must have an open-meeting policy, allowing all registered voters an opportunity to directly participate in the political process.
