Happy holidays Young Democrats,


I hope you all get some rest, spend time with loved with ones, and find time to unwind. We will need to be at 100% for the upcoming year. We have some exciting events and opportunities coming soon!

Run to make a difference in the Democratic Party! Many of us are feeling upset about the election results and looking for ways to get involved and make a difference. One way you can make a difference is by running to become a California Democratic Party Assembly District Delegate. Assembly District Delegates are involved in the decision-making process of the California Democratic Party, including choosing leadership, endorsements, platform, and resolutions. We did a zoom training discussing Assembly District Delegates. Did you miss it? We recorded the training and you can view it here. Did you see our training and are interested in running? You can file to run here!

Running for ADEMS? We’re endorsing! Pursuant to our bylaws, we will be conducting an internet vote from January 11, 2025 at 10:00am to January 18, 2025 at 11:59pm to endorse Young Democrats running for California Democratic Party Assembly District Delegate. If you are a Young Democrat and interested in receiving our endorsement, email our CYD Political Director Maiya De La Rosa at [email protected] and cc me at [email protected]
