The LW Democratic Club will meet on Wednesday, June 28, in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, and via Zoom at 1 p.m. The meeting will feature a 30-minute conversation via Zoom with candidate for the U.S. Senate Adam Schiff. Leisure World Democrats are invited to participate in-person, online or by phone. Zoom login information is available by calling 562-412-0898 or emailing sblwdemocraticclub@gmail.com.
Plans are also underway to invite two other U.S. Senate candidates— Katie Porter and Barbara Lee—to participate in the club’s August and September membership meetings.
Due to several recent developments, there is renewed interest in the campaign to replace Katie Porter who is the current representative in Congress from our District 47. One of the Democratic candidates for this position, Joanna Weiss, is scheduled to speak at the club’s membership meeting in July.
The club has once again designated July as its Virtual Candidate and voter outreach fundraising month. The club’s newest program is designed to increase the number of Leisure World voters in the 2024 elections. To receive more details about how to participate in this “Neighbor to Neighbor” project, call 562-296-8521 or 562-596-0450.
The club’s information and registration booth outside Clubhouse 6 is open from 10:30 a.m-12:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month.
Club members are also urged to save the date for the Democratic Party of Orange County Gala on July 11. Attorney General Rob Bonta will be the featured speaker.
