We can take back Congress, but only if we come together now.                                                                                                                                                                         

As of this morning, we are just 20 days out from Election Day.

That means we have less than three weeks to power the Big Blue Wave and wash Trump’s California Congressional Clones out of office to turn Congress blue.

But to stop Donald Trump’s hateful agenda and take back the House, we need your support to get out the vote in the final, crucial weeks of this election.

Can you chip in $20.18 or more right now, so we can turn out critical voters and power the Big Blue Wave on Election Day?

Since Trump was first elected, California Democrats have led the resistance to his attacks on our communities and our values.

Trump — and his enablers in Congress — have kidnapped and imprisoned children, fought to strip healthcare from Californians with pre-existing conditions, and raised taxes on middle-class and working families to give massive handouts to the rich. Just this week, he defended Saudi Arabia’s dictatorship, even in the face of their likely murder of a journalist.  

On Election Day, we finally have the opportunity to stop Trump’s agenda in its tracks, by replacing his Congressional Clones in California with Democrats who will fight for progress and our California values. But only if we come together now.

Let’s get this done. Chip in $20.18 or more right now, so we can take back the House for Democrats.

Thanks for being a California Democrat.

Democratically Yours,

Eric C. Bauman, Chair
California Democratic Party

In just 25 days, California Democrats will head to the polls.                                                                                                                                                                         

It’s go time in our work to power the Big Blue Wave and take back the House.

In just 25 days, California Democrats will head to the polls to throw out Trump’s Congressional Clones and take back the House, so Congress can once again fight for our California values.

But before then, we’ve got work to do. To keep up the fight and win, we need grassroots supporters like you to keep up your support.

Can you chip in $20.18 or more right now towards our work to power the Big Blue Wave and take back Congress?

Right now, we have 80 organizers spread across every Republican-held congressional district in the state, and I promise you they are working overtime to turn these seats blue.

But to turn out the necessary votes on November 6, we have to make sure these organizers — and our incredible volunteers — have the resources they’ll need. That means money for clipboards, printer toner (for walk packets), lots and lots of coffee, and more.

It’s crucial we come together as California Democrats by each chipping in what we can, so we have the resources necessary to declare victory this November.

Chip in $20.18 or more right now, so we can power the Big Blue Wave and take back Congress.

Democratically Yours,

Clark Lee, Political Director
California Democratic Party

Statement of CDP Chair Eric C. Bauman on National Coming Out Day 2018

Los Angeles– The following is a statement from Eric C. Bauman, the first openly gay Chair of the California Democratic Party: 

On behalf of California Democrats, I celebrate each person who takes the opportunity of National Coming Out day to break the silence and stigma of the closet, and to fulfill their unique and cherished place as members of the LGBTQ community and as a full member of our beautiful and diverse state. 

California Democrats fight every day to create equality for members of the LGBTQ community and to create a state where every person can live their truth openly and proudly.  

From history makers like Harvey Milk to todays generation of groundbreaking leaders, California Democrats are unwavering in our commitment to ensure LGBTQ people are welcomed and embraced at everywhere — in school classrooms and playgrounds, on college campuses, in the workplace, in healthcare, and in our golden years.

Celebrating marriage with my partner, Michael, was the fulfillment of our lifelong dream.  I am personally committed to ensuring that every gay person has the opportunity to fulfill their dreams – and today, this especially means ensuring equality and the safety of members of the transgender community. 

And I promise this California Democrats will take every opportunity to fight the hateful, divisive and backward anti-LGBT agenda of the Trump Administration, because we have never been more energized in the fight for civil rights than we are today.

For every person considering coming out today, tomorrow, or the next day know that your courage makes it possible for others to do the same.  And know that your vote matters, is valued by the Democratic Party, and is essential to creating the Blue Wave that will move us forward and allow us to #TakeItBack this November.
