Committee Chairs & Liaisons

The Central Committee is the governing body of the County Democratic Party as defined in the California Government Code and Elections Code. It is comprised of local Democrats elected by voters in each Assembly District, as well as partisan-level Democratic elected officials and nominees. (For more information, see the Bylaws and Policies & Procedures.) It conducts the County Party’s general business, approves its budget, coordinates Democratic campaign activity, and endorses candidates for local offices. Meeting times are listed here. 

Endorsing good Democratic candidates is one of the most important roles of the club. The Endorsement Committee created and maintains our process, interviews and collects questionnaires from candidates, and runs the endorsement meetings.

The Grassroots Organizing Team (GO Team) connects with voters in our community, building better turnout with a personal touch. By walking and talking with voters, we average a 14% increase in Democratic voter turnout in our GO Team covered precincts. Go Team is an outreach operation that works block-by-block, door-by-door, person-to-person. The GO Team welcomes new members in non-election years. The Go Team provide training, support, and all the materials you’ll need to talk to fellow Democrats or to provide data support. During the months leading up to each election, you’ll be walking/calling with a list of all the endorsed candidates to encourage full-ticket voting. We are glad to have your help.
