The LW Democratic Club’s fundraising campaign officially began on July 20, with information sent to member’s mailboxes. Those who aren’t on the mailing list can pick up a fundraising letter at the next membership meeting on Aug. 26, or stop by the hospitality booth. Donations help support the Democratic Party of Orange County (DPOC), champion candidates like Robert Garcia (Congress), Chris Duncan (State Senate) and Kluwe (State Assembly), and cover vital operational costs like printing and postage.
Chris Duncan, candidate for California State Senate District 36, will be the LW Democratic Club’s featured guest speaker on Wednesday, Aug. 26, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. People are welcome to arrive early and bring a lunch; light snacks will be provided.
Kluwe is a familiar guest to the club. He successfully advanced through the June 2 primary and is now geared up to face Republican Gracey Van Der Mark in the general election on Nov. 3. He’ll lay out his roadmap for securing a victory this November.
With the enthusiastic backing of the LW club and the Democratic Party of Orange County, members are ready to do everything they can to help Kluwe win this November. He will bring plenty of campaign signs to the meeting.
The Hospitality Booth is open the first Tuesday and the third Thursday. The booth is located outside Clubhouse 6 from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. People can register to vote, update an address, or change their party affiliation with the help of the club’s volunteers.
