Additional Information

The Democratic Party is one of the two major political parties in the United States. The Democrats' roots can be traced back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison’s Democratic-Republican party, also making it the oldest political party. Considered to the be the oldest and still-active political party, the Democratic logo of a donkey can be traced back to the 1870's and cartoonist Thomas Nast. While popular and recognized as a Democratic symbol, the donkey has never been formally adopted as the party’s logo.
