The First Vice Chair is the ranking officer of the Central Committee in the absence or inability of the Chair to act.
I am proud to be the newly elected First Vice Chair of the Ventura County
Democratic Central Committee. My professional career has made me a natural
Democrat. I have worked as a labor and workers’ compensation attorney where I have represented injured workers in their claims for several major unions including the UTU, CWA, SEIU along with domestic workers, farm workers, and other, unrepresented injured claimant’s in both the Los Angeles and Ventura area. I have also organized on behalf of the Labor Unions in Los Angeles County. I have always worked for the little guy.
I have been welcomed by numerous members of the Democratic community of Ventura County, and they have become my good friends and colleagues. I was especially mentored by Melissa DiMarco, Shawn Terris, Helen Conly, Suz Montgomery, and Matty Parks. Through them, I have learned the local landscape of Ventura progressive politics. I have been the president of the Democratic Club of Ventura for almost 3 years. Through our collective efforts we have raised substantial sums of money to support our Ventura Democratic candidates as they seek election. I have also had the privilege of representing Hannah-Beth Jackson, our State Senator, and Monique Limón, our Assemblywoman, as their alternate representative at the California Democratic conventions. I have always sought to build bridges, not walls, among all Democrats in order to promote harmony among a large diverse group under a big tent.
Lastly, I am proud of what I have done and will continue to do with my fellow Democrats. It has been a labor of love.
