30th annual BBQ – Thank you for a successful event!!

The Lake County DCC Annual Legislators’ BBQ was a rousing success!! Our honored guests included U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, State Sen. (and President Pro Tem Designee) Mike McGuire, Assemblymember (and Assembly Speaker Pro Tem) Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, state Treasurer Fiona Ma and several local elected officials. The event was held Nov. 5, 2023, at Obsidian Middle School in Clearlake, raising more than $25,000 to help support the party and local candidates in nonpartisan races.

It’s always great to get together with a room full of motivated Democrats, but this tasty lead-in to the 2024 elections might have been the most important yet. We enjoyed hearing from our representatives! Thank you to all who helped and to Roy Zimmerman and Good Measure for providing entertainment!

Proud of our Diversity – Clearlake July 4th parade

A group of Lake County Democrats were proud to participate in the 2023 Clearlake Annual July 4th parade (despite the very high temperature).

We led off with our banner

Lake County Democrats – Proud of our Diversity

followed by our decorated truck with Mickey Mouse on the hood proudly wearing his pride cape

and our signs – Everyone is Welcome, Everyone Belongs.

It was heartwarming that our message of diversity and inclusion received such a warm reception from the crowd.

Thanks to CA State Treasurer Fiona Ma’s husband Jason for stepping in at the last minute with his truck after it became clear that weather conditions were not ok for our planned  horse color guard and our mini cooper.

And on to 2024.
