Every two years the California Democratic party holds elections at Assembly District Election Meetings (ADEM) so that registered Democrats can vote for Assembly District Delegates*. Along with appointees, these delegates play a key role in voting on the party’s endorsements and leadership. Two years ago, a wave of progressive, pro-labor & social justice delegates swept many ADEM elections around the state to challenge the status quo. Here’s a recap of what happened, and why it’s important for our state’s Democratic Party to be more inclusive and transparent.
If you want to make an impact ahead of 2020, and you’re a registered Democrat, please vote! ADEM elections take place this month; days and times are based on your Assembly district. This is 48 Hills’
report on San Francisco: the competing AD17 slates in Asm. David Chiu’s district and the AD19 UniTING slate in Asm. Phil Ting’s district. Two of our Trustees are running again. You can select up to 14 candidates in your district elections; 7 female-identifying and 7 non-female identifying delegates will be elected in each Assembly district.
