Pennington County Democrats

Pennington County Democrats Advocates of transparency in our government for the greater good of all South Dakota families. Because THAT’S what Democrats do. Democracy. We’re on it. ☮️

The Pennington County Democratic Party – sometimes known as the Pennington County Democrats, PennDems, or PenDems – is the political arm of the more-than-16,000 registered Democrats in Pennington County. Any registered Democrat who lives in Pennington County is welcome to participate. Regular monthly meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month at Computer Village, at 6 PM. The County Par

ty functions as a subsidiary of the South Dakota Democratic Party, just as the State Party is a subsidiary of the National Democratic Party. The formal structure of the County Party is based on the voting precincts in Pennington County. Each precinct is entitled to two votes on the governing body – the County Central Committee. Those representatives are the precinct committeewoman and the precinct committeeman. Among the foundational principles the Pennington County Democratic Party believes in are the following:

Everyone is entitled to the same rights, privileges, advantages, and opportunities as any other person. There are no exceptions. Due to historic prejudices and inequalities experienced by the Native American population in South Dakota, additional efforts must be made to overcome prejudice and ensure fair opportunity for members of racial minority groups. The importance of high quality public education was recognized by South Dakota’s founders and enshrined in the State constitution which states in part that “it shall be the duty of the legislature to establish and maintain a uniform system of public schools … and adopt all suitable means to secure to the people the advantages and opportunities of public education.”

The labor force is the heart of America. Without unions, many things we take for granted would not exist. A vote blue is a vote to protect our heart.

As the first DNC Chair to be a card-carrying union member, I will never stop advocating for fair wages, better benefits, and the dignity of work.

This Labor Day—and every day—the Democratic Party is standing up for union jobs and against Republicans’ attacks on working people.

I love South Dakota. I love the Black Hills. I love being outside and I think most of us understand how lucky we are to live somewhere with this much incredible land and water.

That also means we have a responsibility to take care of it.

I’m not against economic development. I’m not against businesses coming here. I am against pretending that every project is automatically a good idea just because it brings the promise of economic growth.

When we’re considering a project, I want to know what it means for our water, our landowners, our infrastructure and the people who live nearby.

And I want to know who benefits and who is taking on the risk.

We can grow South Dakota without sacrificing the things that make South Dakota worth living in.
