2008 Election

Our Mission

The CCP is a Democratic political reform organization established in 1964 to reform and restructure Jackson County government. It recruits, screens and supports progressive candidates for county and state offices and takes a leadership role in promoting needed public improvement issues.

There has been so much that has been so well written about the historic nature of the 2008 election – I won’t try to do better than those who do it for a living.  It is, however, important in the wake of this historic election for us as Democrats and Americans to keep in mind what this election and the new era we are stepping into means - and will mean - for millions of people across Missouri and across the country.
