Santa Rosa Democratic Club | Sonoma County's largest and oldest Democratic club

January 25, 2023 Dinner Meeting

We are pleased to announce that Assemblymember Damon Connolly (AD12) will be our guest speaker in January. Assemblymember Connolly had expected to attend our December meeting, but due to an illness was unable to attend in person. Connolly was elected in November 2022 to represent Assembly District 12 which encompasses parts of Santa Rosa. He has been a capable and effective leader serving over 18 years as a Marin County Supervisor, Vice-Mayor of San Rafael, School Board President, and California Deputy Attorney General. Connolly attended college and law school at UC Berkeley.

Upon his swearing in as the Assemblymember for AD12, Connolly was appointed Vice-Chair of the Climate Change Policy Committee. There will be a Q & A following his presentation.

September 28th Dinner Meeting

We are pleased to have State Senator Mike McGuire at our September Club meeting. Senator McGuire was named majority leader in 2022. He's been a champion for our kids and public schools. He went to the mat and won against President Trump on offshore oil drilling, led the charge in the legislature on wildfires, and is a leading voice in holding PG&E accountable. And no one has been more successful at securing resources to combat homelessness and build affordable housing in rural California.

Mike, his wife Erika, an elementary school principal, along with their son Connor, call Sonoma County home with their lazy pug, Gertrude.

Following Senator McGuire's presentation, there will be a Q&A.

Monthly Dinner Meetings

Nearly every fourth Wednesday we hold a Dinner Meeting at the Veterans Memorial building in Santa Rosa. These meetings are free and open to the public and always have a guest speaker. Past speakers have included political language expert George Lakoff, Congressman Mike Thompson, and Governor Jerry Brown.

We always have an optional buffet-style dinner at each meeting. The buffet costs $25 per person. The food is prepared fresh and includes appetizer, main course, dessert and beverages (coffee, juice or ice tea). Beer and wine are available too for a small donation.

So that we know how much to cook, we ask that those who want dinner RSVP no later than 10PM the Sunday before the before the meeting. You can RSVP through this site or leave a message on our voicemail at 707 583-2350.
