Leisure World Democrats are will not meet or hold a voter education session in December. Members are encouraged to reach out to other Democrats and potential supporters in their neighborhood to share information about the importance of voting in the March Primary election.
Monthly club meetings will resume on Wednesday, Jan. 24, in a new location and time at Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 1:30 p.m.
Dom Jones, the Democratic Party endorsed candidate for the California Assembly in the March 2024 Primary Election, has been invited to be the featured speaker. There will also be a presentation on Proposition 1.
Proposition 1 will be on all Leisure World voters’ March primary ballot. Among other things, it asks California voters whether or not they support the State issuing bonds to fund housing for unsheltered individuals and veterans with mental health and or substance use disorders.
In order to have time to socialize with one another before the meeting begins, members are invited to bring their own lunch and arrive as early as noon for this first club meeting of the new year. Coffee, water and individually wrapped snacks will be available. Access to the meeting will also be available by Zoom.
The club’s voter education sessions will also resume in the new year. The sessions are held on the third Wednesday of the month starting Jan. 17 in Clubhouse 3, Room 3, at 1 p.m. The first meeting will be on the subject of censoring reading material. Carol Daus, a 28-year resident of Huntington Beach and board member of the Friends of Huntington Beach Public Library, will be the resource person for this session.
The club will be contacting LW Democrats and declinedto- state party voters by mail in early February. The letter will cover information about candidates who will appear on the primary ballots. It will address the importance of voting on down ballot races, especially the race for the LW representative on the Orange County Board of Supervisors. There is no incumbent running in this race. The Democratic Party has endorsed candidate Frances Marquez.
