HomeWelcome to the California Democratic Council
"I have always regarded the California Democratic Council as one of the United States’ most important centers of citizen participation in politics.” - President John F. Kennedy
"I'm not a member of any organized political party - I'm a Democrat." - Will Rogers
If this weren't so damn true, it'd be funny! (Ok, I admit I've snickered at this before)
But
if this was coined so long ago (1930s), why hasn't our party done something
about it by now!?! Well, it's time we get our act together - at least
here in California.
With three elections coming up over the next 12 months, our Democratic clubs have a lot of work to do if we want to engage our Democrats and get them to the polls.
It’s no secret that the state party relies heavily on our clubs for both physical as well as financial support.
However, in order for us to help the party win these next few elections, our clubs have to be strong and functional – both in membership as well as financially.
Since our convention in August, CDC has been working hard to revamp its services and products in order to support our Democratic clubs during this long election cycle. Some of the many services we provide our clubs include a leadership manual, free websites, speaker lists, training and more!
In addition, CDC is dedicated to working closely with our county central committees. Our goal is to coordinate with each county committee to determine where new clubs are needed as well as identify which existing clubs could use some help in getting ready for the next year. We have already partnered with several counties in planning their growth strategy and our goal is to partner with all of our county committees.
Please feel free to contact us if you would like to start a new club or need help with your current club!
Henry Vandermeir
President
