Message from the Chair
Democrats,
Over the last four weeks, we took a giant step towards a brighter future. The inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris restored new hope within our nation. From Biden's introduction of a $1.9 trillion relief package to change the course of the pandemic, to rebuilding a country that celebrates its diversity - democracy has truly prevailed.
In the Golden State, California Democrats are working tirelessly to rebuild together. This month, Gov. Gavin Newsom revealed a $227 billion spending plan which provides funding for immediate COVID-19 response and relief efforts. The proposal will make investments towards a more equitable and inclusive economic recovery plan.
As Democrats strive to form a more perfect and purposeful union, I know that there is much more work to be done. We’ve made great progress despite a global pandemic. We’ve held true to the values of our democratic process. And Democrats have proven time and time again the power of our collective voices.
As Chair of the California Democratic Party, I am proud to stand in solidarity with you.
In unity,
Rusty Hicks
Chair
California Democratic Party

Governor Gavin Newsom and California Democrats are working to protect California renters and small landlords who are facing COVID-19 financial hardship. That’s why this week, they introduced a proposal to extend the nation’s strongest COVID-19 tenant eviction protections until June 30, 2021. The extended proposal protects tenants who have paid 25% of their rent since September 2020.
The proposal will:
*
Provide
$2.6
billion
in
federal
relief
to
help
Californians
pay
off
unpaid
rental
debt
*
Prioritize
households
with
the
highest
need
*
Pay
80%
of
any

rent
to
landlords
accrued
between
April
2020
and
March
2021,
as
long
as
they
agree
to
forgive
the
remaining
20%
As we recover from the pandemic together, we need your support to continue fighting for the American people. Will you commit to joining the California Democrats to help our nation recover?
