Who are the Democrats of Rossmoor?
The Democrats of Rossmoor Club was established in 1966. Chartered by the Democratic Party of Contra Costa County, we are one of the largest Democratic clubs in California.
We come together as a group to maximize our political effectiveness in support of Democratic ideals. We are an activist, non-PAC organization committed to:
- Educating ourselves through guest-speaker programs, workshops, town halls, film and book clubs, and frequent communications.
- Mobilizing in support of local, state, and national Democratic candidates through get-out-the-vote activities, including voter registration, phone and text banking, letter- and postcard writing, and door-to-door canvassing. We also endorse and promote legislation.
- Supporting programs that further Democratic principles, including projects to support public education, voter registration, and political activism.
- Offering forums for members to study issues, share ideas, and gather for fun and fellowship
Our club thrives because members discover personal and social satisfaction working with other capable Democrats to support causes and candidates.
Our Vision and Mission
Our Vision:
We envision a Democratic President and Democratic Party majorities in the House and Senate, and the successful enactment of Democratic Party principles at every level of government.
Our Mission:
Education: To bring to light important political and societal issues, and to communicate and discuss a range of Democratic solutions.
Action: To channel our knowledge into political action. To be a significant force in winning votes for Democratic candidates and legislation, locally, statewide, and nationally, in support of our nation’s democratic principles.
Our Priorities
Normally, Democrats of Rossmoor members determine club priorities in the spring of each year. But 2024 is not a “normal” year. Club members gathered in March to identify the major issues that will influence voters in this critical 2024 election. We brainstormed influential messaging, talking points or areas to address from the Biden/Harris Administration perspective for each of the key issue areas below, listed in priority order:
