About The Committee for a Democratic Majority

In 1981, Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) founded The Fund for a Democratic Majority – renamed The Committee for a Democratic Majority in 1995. Today Senator Kennedy remains the Honorary Chair. The Committee for a Democratic Majority works to elect Democrats to Congress, and its principal current goal is electing a Democratic majority in the Senate and House of Representatives in 2004.

Since 1995, the Committee for a Democratic Majority has contributed over $650,000 to more than 100 Democratic candidates and party committees in 41 states, and has also helped them raise millions of dollars for themselves.

Together we can elect Democratic majorities to Congress, and make long-overdue progress for our nation on key issues such as homeland security, the economy, education, health care, civil rights, the environment, and the rights of working families.

Senator Ted Kennedy has developed a broad agenda of issues that will be advanced by a Democratic majority in Congress. While many more challenges need to be addressed the following “Agenda for a Democratic Majority” offers a framework on which to build:

An Agenda for a Democratic Majority

“As Democrats look to the future, our prinipal challenge is to present a clear agenda that demonstrates the fundamental differences between our values and those of the Republican Party. The Committee for a Democratic Majority will wage a strong campaign in the coming months to win the confidence of the American people. Our Agenda for a Democratic Majority will lead us to Democratic legislative victories in 2003 and election victories in 2004 and beyond.”
