California Dnc Press Democrat CALIFORNIA DNC PRESS DEMOCRAT NOVEMBER 2017 PAGE 1 JESS DURFEE ELECTED NEW WESTERN CAUCUS CHAIR BY MELAHAT RAFIEI, DNC MEMBER It couldn't have been more typical for Demo- crats! After more than a decade of outstanding service, Aleita Huguenin announced that she was not going to seek another term as Chair of the West- ern States Caucus. Aleita did amazing work and we owe her all the thanks we can give her for extraordi- nary service. So the race was on, and the frontrunners emerged in typical Democratic fash- ion - loud, sometimes con- tentious and always lively.

  • Libertarian Party of Nevada Hosted "Speed Dating" Events Over 2 Days at Different Venues in Las Vegas
    Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown Format - Why "Speed Dating?" The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important. Endorsements and Grading Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians. The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot. Adam Sanacore, Assembly District 21 Lou Pombo, Assembly District 37 Chris Dailey, White Pine County Commission Louis Gabriel, Assembly District 32 Donald W.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks to an Overflow Crowd at a Campaign Rally for Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillar
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks to an Overflow Crowd at a Campaign Rally for Democratic Presidential Nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton and Democratic Senatorial Candidate Catherine Cortez Masto in North Las Vegas, Nevada October 23, 2016 The President. Hello, Las Vegas! How is everybody doing? Good? So I'm sorry that it's a little crowded up in there. But I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate you. I would not be President if it weren't for all the work that so many of you did back in 2008, back in 2012. But if we're going to continue all the progress that we've made, then we are going to have to make sure that we vote this time out. So I need everybody here to not just vote yourselves, but you've got to get your friends, your neighbors, your cousins. If you're not 18 and you can't vote, make sure your parents vote and your cousins vote. Because that's the only way we're going to be able to continue the progress that we've made. If you care about putting people back to work, then you want Hillary Clinton as President of the United States. If you want to make sure that immigration reform gets passed, we've got to have Catherine Cortez Masto in the United States Senate. If you want to make sure that we continue to make progress on education and making college affordable, then we've got to have more Democratic Members of Congress in the House of Representatives.

  • Dear Presidential Candidate
    Dear Presidential Candidate: Thank you for running to receive our Party’s Presidential nomination. The energy and unique perspective you bring to this race will make our Democratic Party stronger and more vibrant as we prepare for what is surely the most important election of our lifetime. While Democrats must give our all to defeating Donald Trump in 2020, we cannot lose sight of the less glamorous work that comes after this election: Building a sustainable Democratic Party infrastructure that will remain beyond the 2020 election cycle so that we can win elections up and down the ballot which will help support the agenda of our Democratic President. We must build to win and build to last so we can grow our Party into the future. The way we do that is by building and supporting strong State Democratic Parties. That’s why, on behalf of the Association of State Democratic Committees (ASDC), we are writing to ask for your support of and signature on the enclosed Pledge to Support State Democratic Parties. This Pledge was passed unanimously in Santa Fe, New Mexico this June by ASDC members – made up of the Chairs and Vice Chairs from all 57 State Parties (all 50 States + DC + 5 U.S. Overseas Territories + Democrats Abroad) – and is being shared with all candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination. We ask that you and your team consider this pledge and reach out with any questions. We hope to have all 2020 ​ candidates’ signatures on this pledge no later than the upcoming ASDC / DNC meeting taking place August 21 – 24 in San Francisco.

  • The Revival of the Nevada Democratic Party
    CASE STUDY The Revival of the Nevada Democratic Party When a state political party’s electoral performance falters, how should political actors change its fortunes for the better— concentrate on the needs of individual candidates, bolster allied outside groups, or invest in the formal party itself? Sam Rosenfeld Daniel Schlozman August 2021 SNF Agora Case Studies The SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University offers a series of case studies that show how civic and political actors navigated real-life challenges related to democracy. Practitioners, teachers, organizational leaders, and trainers working with civic and political leaders, students, and trainees can use our case studies to deepen their skills, to develop insights about how to approach strategic choices and dilemmas, and to get to know each other better and work more effectively. How to Use the Case Unlike many case studies, ours do not focus on individual leaders or other decision-makers. Instead, the SNF Agora case studies are about choices that groups make collectively. Therefore, these cases work well as prompts for group discussions. The basic question in each case is: “What would we do?” After reading a case, some groups role-play the people who were actually involved in the situation, treating the discussion as a simulation. In other groups, the participants speak as themselves, discussing the strategies that they would advocate for the group described in the case. The person who assigns or organizes your discussion may want you to use the case in one of those ways. When studying and discussing the choices made by real-life decision-makers (often under intense pressure), it is appropriate to exhibit some humility.
