The Fresno County Democratic Central Committee has not endorsed any candidate in this race.


 

The bond that Democratic Party activists share with our brothers and sisters in organized labor is like no other.  Today as the California Labor Federation and State Building Trades gather for their 2017 Joint Legislative Conference, we must make it clear to elected officials throughout the state that this bond is unbreakable.

 

Progress on our shared priorities depends on a strong and robust Democratic Party that champions working people.  From my days as an in-house nurse organizer with SEIU Local 399, I have always been a stalwart supporter of working families, and that is why I am proud to list so many labor unions and labor icons as endorsers of my campaign to be the next Chair of the California Democratic Party.

 

Thank you so much for your vote of confidence!

In Democratic Unity,

Eric C. Bauman
Vice Chair, California Democratic Party
Chair, Los Angeles County Democratic Party
