LAKE COUNTY – California Democrats who were involved in the 2008 campaign are invited to help select delegates at two sites on Jan. 10, 2009, in the First Assembly District for the California Democratic Party’s State Convention, which will be held April 24-April 26, 2009, in Sacramento.

They will meet on Jan. 10, 2009 from noon to 3 p.m. at Plowshares Peace and Justice Center, 1346 S. State St. in Ukiah, and in the northern part of the district at the Democratic Headquarters, 129 Fifth St. in Eureka, also from noon to 3 p.m.

The California Democratic Party is convening delegate selection committees in each of the state’s 80 Assembly Districts on Jan. 10 or 11, 2009.

“To keep the California Democratic Party strong, we need active participation of everyone who cares about keeping this state Democratic,” said California Democratic Party Chairman Senator Art Torres. “The California Democratic Party encourages local committees to open their doors as widely as possible so that the volunteers of 2008 can play a role in their party.”

The Assembly District Committees will elect 12 people (six women and six men) to be members of the Democratic State Central Committee.

These 12 people will represent their Assembly District for both the 2009 and the 2010 State Conventions.

People wishing to be delegates must file on the California Democratic Party Web site (www.cadem.org) or call the California Democratic party Headquarters at 916-442-5707 by noon on Dec. 31.

For more information, call Val Muchowski, 707-895-3543.
