The Fresno County Democratic Central Committee has not endorsed any candidate in this race.
Last night, the voters of Alabama sent a strong message that they are fighting back against Trump’s dangerous agenda.
However, as thrilled as we are with Doug Jones’ historic win, we can’t ignore the blatant voter suppression tactics that were on full display in Alabama yesterday. From unfair Voter ID laws to police at polling locations and more, the GOP is still working systematically and relentlessly to suppress the vote of mainly minority and low-income voters.
I’m committed to defending against any voter suppression efforts in California.
As Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
I refuse to see what happened in Alabama happen in California.
We know that the GOP continues to work nationally to suppress the vote, especially the minority vote and the youth vote. They’re doing this because they know that when we show up, we win.
Last night people of color, especially women of color, made sure that Alabama voted on the right side of history.
Thank you,

California Secretary of State
