Profile
I have been on the Sonoma County Democratic Central Committee in various capacities for over five years. During much of that time, I have served on the Candidates Search & Development Committee. For the first time in many years, Progressive Democrats have an opportunity to effectively re-focus the Democratic Central Committee on vitally important city and countywide concerns.
Other than candidate endorsements, when was the last time that you read or heard about the Sonoma County Democratic Central Committee taking an important public stand -- on any issue? Any issue at all?
The Democratic Central Committee can be an effective political force in our communities. It is so in other California counties. So why not in Sonoma County? This year, there are well qualified progressive Democrats running for seats on the Democratic Central Committee who are dedicated to moving the Democratic Party’s agenda forward.
Endorsements:
Pamela Torliatt, Mayor of Petaluma
Teresa Barrett, Petaluma, City Council Member
David Glass, Former Mayor, City of Petaluma
Marsha Vas Dupre, Trustee, Santa Rosa Jr. College District
Dr. Peter Phillips, Prof. at Sonoma State U., Director of Project Censored
Norman Solomon, Local Author, Media Commentator, Documentary filmmaker
Progressive Democrats of America, Sonoma County Chapter
(partial list)
In addition to myself, there are 9 other candidates running for 5 open seats in the 2nd Supervisorial District. I recommend, without reservation, a vote for three other Progressive Democratic candidates. They are: Dale Axelrod, Susan Baritell, and Donna Norton.
Issues of Special Interest: Universal Single Payer Healthcare (SB-840 Kuehl); Clean Money/ Fair Elections (AB-583 Hancock); Water Supply/ Groundwater issues; Traffic Mobility; Sustainable Community Development; Affordable Housing for a local work force.
On June 3rd, please mark your ballot for Dale Axelrod, Susan K. Baritell, Maggie Fishman, Stan Gold, and Donna Norton. We’re all in this together.
