The final official results of the March 5 Primary Election have not yet been posted by the Orange County Registrar of Voters. Nevertheless, the LW Democratic Club is already making plans for the 2024 General Election.
The club’s monthly membership meetings will feature indepth discussions concerning the candidates and issues that will be on November ballots. Candidates who will appear on these ballots as a result of placing first or second in the primary will be invited to make presentations in person when possible.
Membership meetings will also address concerns relating to the Seal Beach City Council and the Los Alamitos Board of Education. Candidates running for both boards will also be on LW ballots in November.
Voters in November will also be asked to vote on a number of propositions. In depth discussions relating to several of these issues are being considered as topics for the ongoing Voter Education Series on the third Wednesday of every month.
The club’s Neighbor to Neighbor Project will broaden its approach to reach LW voters who are registered as having no preferred party. Volunteers who have been a part of this newly relaunched program recognize that Democrats outnumber Republicans in Orange County by roughly 74,000 voters. However, they also realize that the 416,000 No Party Preference registered voters in the county continue to have an important impact, especially in local elections such as the one for Orange County supervisor. The club’s next membership meeting will be on Wednesday, March 27 in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 1:30 p.m. Members can attend in person or Zoom.
The Leisure World Democratic Club believes health care is a right, diversity is a strength, the economy should work for everyone, and that facts and truth matter.
Everything appearing in the weekly articles and semimonthly electronic newsletters has been fact checked to the fullest extent possible.
