Welcome to Community Democracy
Our place, our voice
Let’s do politics differently.
We’re Voices of Cook, a nonpartisan community group dedicated to engaging local residents in the democratic process and a part of the growing Community Independents movement.
We believe that a local, quality, Community Independent candidate will represent the voices of our electorate better than a member of the party system.
Are you concerned that our recent governing parties have only really been concerned about getting re-elected?
Are you concerned that our representative always votes along party lines and seems to take their community for granted?
We want to hear your voice. One of the ways to make yourself heard is to complete our Community Survey.
