Finally, we have an opportunity to elect a new generation of diverse community leaders into the Democratic Party of Orange County (DPOC). Included in these slates are members who have generously worked in building the DPOC of today. By preparing and carving out the spaces for the new crop of on-ground Democrats, new possibilities are now a reality. These members merged to form the groundswell that will change the future of our party. In the year 2020, we move from fear of losing to expectations of winning.
Through intentional dialogue, these slates formed based on the belief in the Progressive Democratic platform grounded in justice and equality. The following members are both willing and able to draw the line and exemplify the BOLD stances on the issues most important to THE PEOPLE, through an unwavering commitment to the work. Free of conflict of interests, and unapologetically themselves, this group of leaders have the grit to face the challenges and stay true to the issues including but not limited to:
Holding elected officials accountable
Medicare for All
Green New Deal
People Powered- No corporate/developer/police union money
