As we've been mentioning and prepping for the last couple of weeks, we are going to try out our first endorsement-palooza for a host of friendly incumbent and non-incumbent legislative races and for State Controller this Sunday, January 23rd at 12:00pm.
Thank You, Lorena Gonzalez + Two January Club Meetings!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone has enjoyed the long holiday break with family and friends!
We want to wish a heartfelt congratulations and thank you to Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez.
By now, many of you have heard the exciting (although, legislatively sad) news that she is resigning from the legislature to take on a new role leading the California Labor Federation.

Two December 2021 Virtual Meetings
Democrats for Equality,
I hope everyone enjoyed the long holiday weekend with family and friends! Can you believe we're about to be in December?
Unfortunately, we aren't hosting a holiday party again this year due to COVID and now the Omicron variant is upon us -- but, there's always next year.
However, we are planning to hold two virtual club meetings in December.
Endorsement Alert: State Senate and Chula Vista Mayor!

We are excited to announce several more endorsements for 2022!
At last night's meeting, our club members have endorsed longtime club member, Chula Vista Councilmember, and Chair of the California Coastal Commissioner Steve Padilla for State Senate! Also, our club members have endorsed Zaneta Encarnacion for Chula Vista Mayor!
November 2021 Virtual Meeting!
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.
Endorsement Alert: California Statewide Leaders!

We are excited to announce several more endorsements for 2022!
At last night's meeting, our club members have endorsed U.S. Senator Alex Padilla, Governor Gavin Newsom, Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis, Attorney General Rob Bonta, Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber, and Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond for re-election in 2022!
Endorsement Alert: Councilmembers Monica Montgomery Steppe and Vivian Moreno!
