| On Sunday, the 2017 California Democrats State Convention wrapped up in Sacramento!
Thousands of delegates and guests gathered together to show the nation that #CaliforniaLeads — and to map out how we can continue to fight for progress, together. Here are a few of the many highlights from the #CADEM17 convention weekend: Delegates Elect New Party Leadership During Convention, delegates cast their ballots in Statewide, Regional Director, and E-Board elections to elect new Party leadership to continue moving California forward. Congratulations to our new Chair, Eric C. Bauman, our Female Vice Chair, Alexandra Gallardo-Rooker, our new Male Vice Chair, Daraka Larimore-Hall, our new Secretary, Jenny Bach, and our new Controller, Daniel Weitzman!

California Democrats Pay Tribute to John Burton’s Progressive Legacy Before electing our new party leadership, California Democrats paid tribute to outgoing Chairman Burton’s legacy of progressive leadership and tireless work to stand up for the voiceless, empower the grassroots, and build for the future. Did you miss Saturday’s Convention video tribute to John Burton? Watch California Democrats say thank you for his years of service.
Dozens of Elected Officials and Progressive Leaders Address Delegates Delegates heard from dozens of our elected officials and progressive leaders including U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, Leader Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Adam Schiff, Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, and so many more on how California can continue to lead the way!
