Virtual Club Meeting: September 19, 2024

Join us for our regularly scheduled virtual meeting this month on Thursday, September 19 at 6:30pm. This will be our absolute last-chance endorsement meeting -- and club meetings -- prior to the November 5th Presidential Election.

For endorsement considerations, we will vote on uncontested friendly incumbents Tony Kranz for Encinitas Mayor, Eric Ortega for Bonsall Unified Area E, and Oscar Caralampio for Fallbrook Union High School District Area 4.

We'll also consider endorsements for uncontested Democratic candidates running for Palomar College Area 4, Del Mar Union School Board (short-term seat), and a short-term seat on the Calexico City Council.

You can register for the virtual meeting here.

Harris-Walz: San Diego Merch & Volunteer Opportunities

It's GO time! Join us as we work together to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz this November! You can sign-up to volunteer with the national campaign on their website here.

Since we are an LGBTQ+ Democratic club, their Out for Harris campaign has opportunities to volunteer here.

Also, our local San Diego County Democratic Party may have merch and swag at their office in Kearny Mesa.

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. Let's WIN this!
