Letter: Reelect the only Coastsider on the county Democratic Central Committee

Hello Coastsiders:  I am currently running for reelection to seat on the Democratic Central Committee in San Mateo County, representing Supervisorial District 3. I am the only Coastside resident currently on the Central Committee and with your help, I will be reelected. District 3 includes the entire Coastside from Montara through Pescadero, Pacifica, San Carlos, Redwood Shores, Atherton and the unincorporated communities near Redwood City and Menlo Park.

The Central Committee is the official organizing branch of the California Democratic Party on the county level. We take the lead on local voter registration and community outreach, endorsements, candidate mentoring and campaign/election organization. I have represented District 3 for the past six years, working closely with our outstanding Coastside Democrats club and raising issues of local concern to the county party.

I am currently the Central Committee Controller and have served as Assistant Treasurer and Chair of the Fund Development Subcommittee. I am also the Field Organizer for San Mateo County’s 2008 Democratic campaign and our leadership team is preparing to open our county campaign headquarters in San Carlos on June 7. In order to win back the White House and increase our majorities in the House and the Senate, we need a cohesive group of energized and committed local party leaders who can recruit and mobilize campaign volunteers to build a vibrant, successful organization countywide. It would be an honor to represent you in these efforts.

My name is on the June 3 Democratic primary ballot and I would greatly appreciate your vote. Even if you are a Decline to State voter, you may request a Democratic Party ballot and vote for me. The candidates I recommend for the other seats representing District 3 are Carole Dorshkind, Greg Loew and Daniel Yost. I have worked with Carole, Greg and Daniel extensively and wholeheartedly endorse them all.

In order to win on June 3, I need your support. Please spread the word to Democratic and Decline to State voters you know who live in District 3. Feel free to contact me with any questions and check out the League of Women Voters website at www.smartvoter.org for more information about me and the other candidates who are running.

Thanks so much and onward to victory,

April Vargas
