Testimonials
With the love and support of the Democratic Party, dedicated volunteers and our community, my re-election was made possible.
We were outspent 2-to-1 in a long shot campaign, but we defied the odds and won! Thank you to the Democratic Party and our incredible donors!
With your support, we unseated an extremist who was out of touch with Fillmore. Together, we can now build a better future for our children and community.
I am honored to hold the position of Mayor of Oxnard—a role that has been made possible through the dedication and support of the Democratic Party.
My race came down to just a few votes—the Democratic Party's support was pivotal in regaining our City Council Democratic majority in Fillmore.
Simi Valley saved its Democratic School Board majority thanks to generous donors like you!
As a first-time candidate running a grassroots campaign, I was incredibly grateful to the Party and the Clubs for investing and supporting my race.
Together, we defended our pro-public education, good-governance focused school board majority with the support of the Party and our clubs.
BIG thanks to the Ventura County Democrats who always turnout to help win elections! Grassroots efforts boost small campaigns over the finish line. Teamwork makes the dreamwork.
