The people’s endorsement.

On the day before Election Day, I want to highlight the endorsement our campaign has received from the California Democratic Party. We are the only candidate running for Assembly in District 9 to achieve this recognition, and I do not take it lightly. To put it simply, if Democratic voters turn out, we win, and get to continue making our case to voters all the way through November. I'm counting on you to turn out, and help us bring the fight to the status quo at the ballot box. Thank you for your support!

A big congratulations and thank you to Joel, our winner of the Carne Asada & Guacamole Contest!

We want to thank him for participating and bringing his best recipe to the table. After some very friendly competition, Joel officially took home the win—and we have to be honest… his guacamole is pretty good. Sandra, is not going to deny that!

Thank you, Joel, for being part of our first contest and helping make the event such a success. We appreciate the time, effort, and flavor you brought to the competition.

We’re already looking ahead, and we can’t wait for the next round of challenges coming in 2027. Something tells us the competition is only going to get tougher from here.

Until then… Joel holds the title! 🥑🏆

Yesterday we hosted our very first Carne Asada & Guacamole Contest—small but mighty!

Thank you to everyone who came out, participated, donated, cooked, and supported this effort. A special thank you to our Events Committee for helping bring this fun community gathering to life.

Our barbecues are usually an opportunity for members to come together, but this time we added a little twist with the guacamole contest, and it made for a great afternoon of food, laughter, and friendly competition.

And while our President wasn't present to claim the trophy she was convinced she would win, she had a pretty good excuse. She was out distributing food to farmworker families in need. So while she may have missed out on the trophy, I'd say we're still winning.

That's what Democrats do—we show up, we organize, and we serve our communities. Whether it's hosting events that bring people together or helping families put food on the table, we're always working to make a difference.

This was our first Carne Asada & Guacamole Contest, and while it may have been small, it showed the power of community and what can happen when people come together.

We'll see you at our next fundraiser on June 13! Make sure to follow our page for updates, upcoming events, and opportunities to get involved.

Thank you all for your support. See you soon!

Today, we remember all the fallen veterans who gave their lives for our country — and we stand with the veterans who continue to suffer physically, emotionally, and mentally long after their service.

Their sacrifice should never be forgotten. Their struggles should never be ignored.

The Greater Lodi Area Democrats honor the courage, service, and resilience of our veterans and military families. May we continue building a community and a country that truly supports those who served. 🇺🇸

Today’s meeting brought important conversations, strong energy, and a clear message: our community is paying attention. Dan shared voting turnout numbers from the state, county, Stockton, and Lodi, reminding us how much these overlapping races matter.

Anderson spoke about the proposed data center and the importance of the community understanding the cons so residents can stay informed and involved in the conversation. He also shared the importance of keeping younger generations engaged and committed to working with them once elected.

‼️The voting strategy ‼️
— We are showing up. We are voting in person or securely dropping off our ballots at official drop boxes because every voice and every vote matters.‼️

The conversation is growing, the momentum is real, and people are ready to be part of the change.

🔥 District 3 showed UP tonight! 🔥

New faces. Fresh ideas. Future leaders. 💙

Our House Party was packed with energy, powerful conversations, and people ready to build real progress for Lodi. We heard directly from candidates who are planning, once they win, to work together — from City Council, to County Supervisor, all the way to the Assembly level — because real change happens when leaders unite for the community.

This is what momentum looks like. 👏🏽

Neighbors connecting with neighbors. Community members becoming organizers. Supporters becoming future leaders. And yes… hopefully a whole lot of new members joining the movement. 😉

Lodi is paying attention. The future is being built now. Are you ready to be part of it?

Today at the Lodi Street Fair, we were reminded exactly why we do this work. 💙

A huge thank you to every single volunteer who showed up, gave their time, and connected with our community. Your energy, your conversations, and your commitment are what keep this movement alive and growing.

What stood out the most today was the next generation. Seeing young voters stepping up, asking questions, and bringing bold, progressive ideas gives us real hope for the future of our party. This is how we evolve, how we stay relevant, and how we continue to fight for a better tomorrow.

It was also powerful to see the diversity in our community—people from different backgrounds, cultures, and lived experiences all coming together. That’s what we stand for. That’s what makes us stronger.

Our party is not standing still—it’s growing, it’s changing, and it’s being shaped by a new generation ready to lead us to new heights.

Thank you, Lodi. Let’s keep building. ✊💙

💙✊ The Lodi Dems showed up today and held strong on the East Lockeford overpass at Hwy 99 in Lodi. ✊💙

It was a powerful display of unity, visibility, and community engagement—standing together and making sure our voices are seen and heard in real time.

Thank you to everyone who came out, waved, and supported. Actions like this are what keep momentum going and remind us that participation matters now, not later.

💙 Remember: you are the power. You are the Greater Lodi Dems. 💙

💪 Keeping the party strong, together.

Today we had our very first Acampo House Party—and it was exactly what community should feel like.

House parties are a simple but powerful way to connect with like-minded neighbors, have real conversations, and build relationships right where we live. It’s about creating space to listen, share ideas, and strengthen our community together.

It’s also an opportunity to meet candidates who are stepping up and willing to be your voice—people ready to represent our values and fight for what matters most.

This is how change starts: one conversation, one connection, one neighborhood at a time.

If you missed this one, don’t worry… more to come. Let’s keep building. 💙
