Democrats for Equality,
Join us for our next virtual meeting on Thursday, November 18th at 6:30pm.
We will focus our endorsement attention onto two significant elections in the South Bay: State Senate and Chula Vista Mayor.
Especially considering the disgusting homophobic and anti-Semitic vandalism that occurred at two South Bay schools, it's important for our club to have a say on who represents a large swath of our border region in the legislature, and who leads the second largest city in our county.
Register for our next virtual meeting here.
I love you all,
Ryan Trabuco (he/him/his)
Club President
