| Convention time is near and I’ve been traveling up and down the state sharing our ‘Fowler Fights For You’ Back to Basics Campaign. I would be thrilled to serve as your secretary providing 21st century leadership in communications and civic engagement, reconnecting our communities to their democracy.
Our mission as a party is to elect Democrats and advance our progressive agenda igniting change from the bottom up. As your next CDP Secretary, I feel extremely prepared to help achieve that mission by bringing all of the institutional knowledge, leadership experience, and energy I have to our party.
I am asking for your vote because this campaign is more than building a Statewide Party organization – more than just gathering votes. Our effort together is about connecting Californians with their democracy. It’s about energizing people, allies and activists like you at every level to come together and fight for the common good and a government that’s clean, honest, and solves real problems.
