| Welcome to the Culver City Democratic Club! Serving Democrats in Culver City The club, established in 1952, is open to all registered Democrats. The monthly meetings, which usually take place on the second Wednesday of the month, vary in their focus. Some meetings are concerned with issues specific to Culver City. Other meetings take up issues of statewide, national or even international interest. We have refreshments available a half hour before every meeting so you have a chance to meet the other members and chat. Our club has various active committees in which you can participate to help support Democratic values and get our Democratic candidates elected.

State Senate Election - March 24 ** GO VOTE ** (No Club Endorsement) There was no concensus and so no endorsement for any of the candidates for the Special Election for Senate District 26 on March 24th. The Club hosted a candidate forum at our General Meeting on February 11. The Democratic candidates in attendance were Robert Cole, Mike Davis, Saundra Davis, Jon Friedman and Curren Price. When no candidate got the required 60%, a second vote was held with the same result. Los Angeles Community College Board - Election Results Kelly Candaele and Miguel Santiago won their races outright. Angela Reddock and Nancy Pearlman led in their race, but just missed the 50% to avoid a run-off. So, Angela Reddock (Seat 2) and Nancy Pearlman (Seat 6) will be in their respective run-off races in May. Saturday 07 February 2009 February - Washington and Lincoln and more...
