We're ready for Election 2024

January 03, 2024
(Our founder and chair, Lita Robinow, is spending time with family after the recent passing of her father, Lawrence. Our thoughts are with Lita and family during this difficult time.)

Welcome to the New Year! Are you ready for Election 2024?

This election year is billed as the most consequential in our nation’s history: a stark choice between continuing our Constitution-based democracy with Joe Biden or heading into a Trump authoritarian dictatorship. We MUST hold the Senate and the White House and regain the House!

DemOC PAC is ready to Fight for the Future and we’re off to a fast start!

Join us for a Potluck and Politics meeting January 23! Doors open at 5:30 p.m.; we’ll share food and friendship, and hear from Kevin O’Leary and Chris Marx about how we can best help elect Democrats through positive activism including highlighting the Biden administration’s successes.

Chris is our rocking Political Research Committee chair who has led us for several years, digs deeply into races around the country, and has made us the place people look when wondering where to spend their money. In fact, you can spend your money with the PAC and nowhere else because it will be spent in a meaningful way.

Kevin has a PhD in Political Science from Yale and is an expert on what is happening in today's world. His recent book, “Madison's Sorrow,” is the eye-opening history of how we got HERE. As one of the founders of the new non-profit Saving Democracy (the title of his first book), he has spoken to civic groups around the county (which include many Republicans) about America's democratic tradition and the dangers of extremism. 

Watch your email for potluck signup and more info coming soon. 

California’s primary election is March 5 (Super Tuesday), just two months away! Ballots will be mailed to all registered voters starting Feb. 5, and some in-person early voting centers open as early as Feb. 6. Find your nearest ballot dropbox or voting center and encourage friends and neighbors to vote!

We’re keeping a close eye on the Feb 13 special election in New York’s 3rd congressional district to replace ousted fabulist George Santos and will have more info for you soon on that race.

Our Political Research Committee is hard at work scrutinizing races nationwide where our dollars can make a difference. Here in OC we’ve already contributed to CA-49 Rep. Mike Levin’s re-election campaign and will assess other local congressional races after the March 5 primary.
