On Tuesday, December 9th, the Solano County Young Democrats nominated and selected 6 new members for Executive Board. A big thank you to the previous board for all the hard work this past year. We look forward to a new year full of partnership building, outreach, and community service (sorry, no scheduled elections in 2015). The new board is as followed:
Happy Holidays! Let’s have a great 2015!
Congrats to all Democratic candidates that were elected on Tuesday! Congratulations to Bill Dodd, Jim Frazier, and Susan Bonilla who will go to the Assembly in 2015. Congratulations to Congressman John Garamendi and Congressman Mike Thompson on your return to Washington D.C.
And lastly, we wish to thank the nearly ONE HUNDRED High school and College students who got involved in this year’s election. We hope that even if you don’t become official Solano County Young Democrats, your experiences working on Solano campaigns will make you lifelong advocates for social justice and Democratic values. Sooo… Congratulations to every Young Person who participated in this year’s election for a JOB VERY WELL DONE!
Thank you to all of the young Democrats who got involved with Saturday’s crab feed. With our help, the crab feed was a outstanding success for Solano’s Democratic Party. I hope that all you enjoyed yourselves, met interesting Democrats, and had your fill of crab. Thank you for all of your hard work and we’ll see you at our next event.
For those of you who were not aware, this week was the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles. Two of us at SCYD were honored to have been able to represent Solano County at the Convention.
