Both Wesley Chesbro and Mike Thompson are running again, but Sen. Wiggins is stepping down after many years of dedicated public service; so that race should be lively. We should hear from all Democratic local candidates, so this is your chance to interface with our future leaders.

Momentum was on our side in the 2008 election. Democrats in Mendocino County are truly unstoppable as can be evidenced by (y)our hard work (and others) defeating Measure A last November by a 2/3rds majority.  We also turned our Board of Supervisors from a 3:2 (Rep. - 2, Ind. - 1 and Dems - 2) to a 4:1 (Dems - 4 and Ind. - 1) majority.

It is important that we elect Democratic candidates in Northern California. So save the date now.  This event will be popular, so tickets may sell out.  Remember, when we work together we're unstoppable.

The conference will be a luncheon at the Garden Café in Ukiah, Saturday, April 10 from noon to 3:00.  Lunch will be $17.00 and the Club can subsidize members for which that amount would be a hardship.
