Our friends at South Bay Swing Left are hosting a fundraiser for Randy Villegas, our endorsed Democratic nominee in the runoff against Central Valley Republican David Valadao.

Randy will attend the event in person. He’s a great candidate who deserves and needs our support.

The billionaires and other oligarchs will spend millions to protect Valadao. Randy isn’t accepting PAC donations so he needs our donations to win.

The fundraiser will be in Mountain View on Saturday, August 22, 5pm-7pm, exact location will be provided to those who RSVP here.

Support Randy and help to flip this House seat, which is critical to Democrats winning control of the House.

RSVP and Donate today!

Join Santa Clara County Supervisor Susan Ellenberg on Friday, August 21 for her annual signature event, @The Kids Table, featuring a very special keynote: Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell.

Supervisor Mitchell is a nationally recognized champion for children, families, and economic opportunity. From her work as a nonprofit leader and California legislator to her leadership on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Holly has spent her career fighting to make sure families have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

Supervisor Ellenberg is proud to welcome her friend and colleague to Santa Clara County for a conversation about the policies and investments that can make a real difference in the lives of children and working families.

@ The Kids Table will also feature:

🎤 A sneak peek of the County of Santa Clara’s Child Care Blueprint, presented by Dr. Heidi Emberling of the County’s Office of Child and Family Policy

🏆 The annual Helper Awards, recognizing three extraordinary community members who embody Fred Rogers’ advice to “look for the helpers”

🍼 A commitment to local families, with a portion of event proceeds supporting diaper distribution efforts to help fill gaps created by devastating federal funding cuts

This year’s theme, Ready to Thrive, is a reminder that our work doesn’t stop at making sure children get by. We have a responsibility to build communities where children, parents, and families have the opportunity to thrive.

We hope you’ll join Supervisor Ellenberg and fellow Democrats from across our community for this special morning.

In the first episode, host Ariana Corbu sits down with me, SCCDP Chair Bill James, for a candid conversation about leadership, community, and the future of the Democratic movement.

From the podcast team: “From his beginnings as a Navy engineer and patent attorney to his role as a local Democratic leader, Bill shares the experiences that shaped his path into public service. He reflects on guiding the party through two Trump eras, the power of grassroots organizing, and why youth voices are essential to building the future of politics.”

Our second episode is with San José District 2 Councilmember Pamela Campos. Our host, Ariana Corbu, sits down with Councilmember Campos and discusses her journey from early childhood education to elected office. This episode also delves into issues such as housing, economic opportunity, transportation, and community investment. Councilmember Campos also shares lessons from campaigning, the value of authentic leadership, and why meaningful conversations with neighbors remain at the heart of democracy.
