The club's executive board has recommended signing on as a co-sponsor to support proposed state legislation involving the LGBTQ+ community. The specifics are being kept private at this time, and we will have draft language and more to share at the meeting next week, but we wanted to formally notice that we will consider voting to co-sponsor this legislation.

Speaking of our executive board... club elections are upon us!

All executive board positions are two-year terms unless otherwise stated. Those positions up for election include:

Vice President for Political Action
Secretary (1-year term)
Controller
Sergeant-at-Arms
North Inland Area Director

2 At-Large Directors

Should you wish to serve as a member of the executive board, please e-mail our Nominations Committee at [email protected]

Virtual Club Meeting: January 16, 2025

Join us for the first virtual club meeting of 2025 on Thursday, January 16 at 6:30pm.

Our Immediate Past President Will Rodriguez-Kennedy and Democratic activist and party volunteer Jason Bercovitch will give a presentation on the shrinking of the Democratic Party at the national and local levels, focusing on the 2024 results and compared to past election results. And just in case you thought we were done with endorsement meetings, fear not, for it appears we will need to consider an endorsement in a soon-to-be scheduled special election for County Supervisor in District 1.

The County Board of Supervisors will consider options for the soon-to-be-vacant District 1 seat, so it's best that we start our process in the next month given the expected truncated timeline for whenever the special election would be held.
