Come to the forum, hear the candidates, ask questions and make informed votes in the General Election November 3!


The meeting is complimentary, as are all of our meetings, but any donation is appreciated to help defray the costs of the venues, tech services, refreshments, communications, voting services and of course Donations to candidates, to Take Our Country Back!

At our August Executive Board meeting on 8/3, we identified several candidates we would like to support in the General, in the hopes of retaking BOTH chambers of Congress!


The U.S. Senate Candidates: Sherrod Brown, Ohio; Roy Cooper, North Carolina; Troy Jackson, Maine; and Mary Peltola, Alaska. (We also support Jon Ossoff in Georgia, but he has a ton of $)


The House Candidates (All California): Adam Gray, CD13; Derek Tran, CD45; Randy Villegas, CD22; and Marni Von Wilpert, CD48.


In the past, we only donated to Senate candidates, $1,000 each.

Recently, we added House Representatives, and the 2018 results proved worth it!


Because last year was an off-election year, and we donated 1/2 of our slim reserves this year to help get our Westside Dem HQ up and running, our funds are low. We'll hopefully be donating between $250 and $1,000 to the above eight candidates.


Will you help us? If you can afford to be generous, now is the time! $250 and $500 go to House Candidates, $1,000 to the Senate. BUT every donation adds up. No pressure, we welcome everyone to our meetings!
