Patriotism should trump partisanship
The Fresno County Democratic Central Committee has not endorsed any candidate in this race.
| Throughout history, Democrats and Republicans have come together in a non-partisan manner to protect our democracy. Patriotism has trumped partisanship…until now.
The President just fired the FBI Director who was ramping up an investigation of the Administration’s ties to Russia. Senate Majority Leader McConnell, whose wife is a member of Trump’s Cabinet, has condoned Trump’s action by refusing to appoint a special prosecutor. During the Watergate investigation, Republican Senator Howard Baker famously asked, “What did the President know and when did he know it?” Nixon’s Attorney General resigned rather than fire the independent prosecutor as Nixon ordered. This event became known as the “Saturday Night Massacre.” These Republicans put country before party. I will not be silent when I see our democracy threatened. We cannot allow our country to be compromised by politicians who refuse to put the people and our democratic values first. We must speak out. Call your Senators and members of Congress tomorrow and demand they put the country first. In solidarity, Delaine P.S. Please support my campaign now with a contribution of just $2.92 (0.01% of the contribution limit for the primary). Together, we will prevail.

Dear Sister and Brother Democrats:
Angry and frustrated as I am about the erosion of democracy we are experiencing with Trump ousting FBI Director Comey in the midst of an FBI investigation of Trump and his cronies and as much as I want to scream at the mainstream media’s failure to call out the Trumpublican lies about the Affordable Care Act and their tax cut for the rich masquerading as health care reform, today, I thought it was important to share with you the video below.
You may have already received this very heartwarming and heartfelt piece from my friend Michael Andraychak about his spouse, CDP Chair Candidate Eric Bauman. I wanted to share it with you, however, because I have known Eric since the early 1990s when we were young LGBT activists together in the Los Angeles Stonewall Democratic Club.
Here is my story about the Eric I know. Vote for him or not, that is your decision to make, but I strongly urge you to get to know the man I know, who has dedicated his life to the Party he, I and our spouses all love and who is, in my estimation, ready and able to lead the CDP.
The story has special significance for me because, as you may know, my spouse, Peter and I met at a Gertrude Stein Democratic Club meeting in Washington, DC 29 years ago and our passion for social and economic justice, the rights of workers and the rights of LGBT community members to be full and equal participants in our society in a way, brought us, Eric and Michael together in our decades-long struggle for a better world through Democratic Party activism.
Eric, his spouse, Michael, my spouse, Peter, and I met as Democratic Club activists in the Stonewall Democratic Club. The challenges of an LGBT club in the ’90s are hard to imagine today, but it was hard to be taken as seriously as our issues demanded. Even then, Eric was all about team work. Even then, Eric inspired his fellow acti…vists and campaign workers. Later, Eric became chair of the LA County Democratic Party. He turned an organization to which Garry Shay had given strong structure, durable organization and a single part-time worker into an electoral dynamo with more resources and heft than dozens of state parties.
After an incredible, grassroots, but unsuccessful effort to be elected chair, Eric was elected vice -chair of our state Party and used that post to build up grassroots leaders and empower county parties. Eric went to the furthest outposts of Democratic activism to help invigorate our Party. Many of today’s CDP leaders support Eric because he was there for them on the issues, in their efforts to raise money and harness resources and because he helped them identity and conquer the obstacles to success.
There is more to do. Ours is likely the strongest and most successful state Democratic Party in the country.. Yet, we have more to do to reinforce the progressive tendencies of our elected officials, to build infrastructure outside urban areas and to build the bench that insures a strong, dynamic Party tomorrow. I know that the teambuilder I met in 1993, although a bit older and more battle tested, is the best choice for chair we can have as we face those challenges.
Democratically yours,
Laurence Zakson
P.S. If you are on my regular email list, I hope to have some data on the DNC reorganization to share via email tomorrow. So, keep a lookout.
Dan Weitzman for CDP Controller
The Fresno County Democratic Central Committee has not endorsed any candidate in this race.
Over the past 2 weeks, I tried to reach every CDP delegate during my virtual office hours. I was fortunate enough to speak with many of you directly, and for those of you I missed, I left a voicemail. With less than 2 weeks before the 2017 Convention, I would still like to take a moment and talk about what matters most to you in the future of our party.
I want to be the best CA Democratic Party Controller I can be for all of you. I’d like to bring the finances of this party into the 21st century with a mobile app that will transform how clubs and county parties generate low dollar support. I will do everything I can to coordinate with Democratic organizations throughout California to help with localized strategic fundraising meetings. I will continue the Donate Every Month Program and most importantly I will ensure 100% transparency of all CDP finances. We must make our party more inclusive and welcome all who would like to join and participate with us. Therefore, I will create a low or no-cost childcare program for every CDP E-board meeting and Convention. As a father, I understand that access to our party’s meetings should be available to all working mothers and fathers regardless of the cost of childcare.
Please don’t hesitate to tell me how I could be doing better. I really do want to talk with you, so feel free to call my cell phone at (916) 996-2227. Your input is essential to making my candidacy the best it can be. I look forward to speaking with you over the phone or even at Convention.
See you in Sacramento!
Dan Weitzman

He’s been a strong partner with law enforcement and peace officers to ensure that we have the resources we need combat crime, gangs and drugs and keep the public and local neighborhoods safe. These are a few of the reasons why PORAC and the local police officers that we represent from all corners of California are proud to strongly endorse Senator Ed Hernandez for California Lieutenant Governor.

A husband, father, grandfather, practicing optometrist, and local businessman, “Dr. Ed” (as he is known to his patients) has spent his life bringing quality eye care to predominantly low-income communities. As a health care provider, the need to improve access to health care for all Californians is what first drove him to run for office.
Since being elected to the Assembly in 2006 and the Senate in 2010, Dr. Ed Hernandez has been a leader on the implementation of federal health care reform – helping expand access to affordable health care, control costs, and improve the network of providers so people can actually get quality care when they need it. Dr. Ed has been a champion by expanding educational opportunity to qualified students overlooked by our public schools and universities, as well as a major proponent for government reform, including fixing a broken initiative system too often hijacked by billionaires and wealthy corporations. Dr. Ed Hernandez is running to take this experience, leadership, and vision to the next level by serving the people of California as their Lieutenant Governor.
