    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 16, 2016 Kimberly Ellis for Chair of the California Democratic Party Campaign Raises $100,000 for Northern California Announcement Event San Francisco — California Democratic Party Chair candidate Kimberly Ellis has announced raising $100,000 for her campaign in advance of a formal announcement at tomorrow’s Northern California Announcement Party. Next May, Kimberly could make history by becoming the California Democratic Party’s first African American Chair. “One of the things I learned growing up as a military kid was the value of hard work and tenacity,” Ellis said. “I knew from the beginning that my candidacy for Chair would require me going above and beyond. My Emerge California training taught me the importance of starting early and raising the resources needed to run a strong, viable campaign. That’s exactly what I’ve done.” The money was raised through a variety of vehicles, including Crowdpac, a new crowdfunding platform with a mission “to give politics back to the people.” “I am proud of the more than 300 donors who have contributed to my campaign thus far. They include everyone from the grassroots to the grass tops” Ellis said. 99.9% of the money raised has come from individual donors. “My supporters are invested in my leadership and vision for the California Democratic Party. They represent hundreds of potential new donors who will not only sustain our Party, but grow it. You can expect these numbers to increase by multiples throughout the course of my campaign.” The Northern California Announcement Party will take place tomorrow in San Francisco at the Delancey Street Foundation, Town Hall | 600 The Embarcadero | San Francisco, CA 94107 For more information, contact Dexter Roberson, Campaign Manager at (510) 388-1217 | [email protected] Paid for by Kimberly Ellis for California Kimberly Ellis for California 3060 El Cerrito Plaza #515 El Cerrito CA 94530 United States If you believe you received this message in error or wish to no longer receive email from us, please unsubscribe.

  • San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee General Meeting Minutes February 21, 2019
    San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee General Meeting Minutes February 21, 2019 Prior to Meeting • At 7:31pm, Chair called order for the Speaker Series speaker. Lilli Rey of Bay Area Border Relief and Belinda Arriaga, of Ayudando Latinos a Soñar, gave a talk about Bay Area Border Relief and the refuge crisis on the southern border. o Jon Levinson passed a hat and asked for donations. o Question: 900 people per day are attempting to cross? o Answer: At McAllen Center, this is the number. It is high. In Tijuana, the number is 100 per day. The conditions in Tijuana are eroding. Refugees are moving themselves to South Texas. If you cross in South Texas and you cross the river, you turn yourself into custody to be processed for asylum. They are on US land. At Tijuana, they are not on US soil so they don’t have to be given an asylum hearing. So refugees are choosing to locate to Texas. Single people are being turned away. So families are coming. They also have to pay a “coyote” approximately $10K-$15K to be brought to the border. o Q: Can a child ask for asylum alone? o A: They are put into a facility. 95% of these children have a relative but are not being released to the family. They are holding them until they are 18. o Q: Kids were asked to make drawings. Can you talk about that? Also, the private prisons that are making money on children. o A: If 11 years old or older, they are caged separate from parents.

The deadline to apply for the 3rd District vacancy is 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3, but the county is not releasing the names of the applicants until the day before they are to be interviewed by the board. The county is withholding the information “in an effort to create as even a playing eld as possible for the applicants and ensure as best as possible that the board’s decision will be based solely on the applications and interviews,” said David Wert, county spokesman, via email Thursday. https://www.sbsun.com/2018/11/29/san-bernardino-county-not-saying-who-has-applied-for-board-vacancy/ 1/4 11/30/2018 San Bernardino County not saying who has applied for board vacancy – San Bernardino Sun “Even members of the Board of Supervisors have not yet been provided with the applications.” On Nov. 13, the board voted to accept applications for the seat being vacated by Supervisor James Ramos, a Democrat who won his bid for the 40th Assembly District midway through his four-year term on the board.
