Students for Doug Applegate

05/25/2018

The California Young Democrats is proud to join 5 local Young Democrat clubs to endorse Col. Doug Applegate for Congress. He shares our values, including support for tuition-free college, single-payer healthcare, and a $15 minimum wage. His values-centric, issue-based campaign is a clear reflection of the principles we share, as is his ability to speak out in the face of special interests. His close margin with Darrell Issa in 2016 and this year's expected blue wave make us confident that Col. Applegate is not only the most principled candidate, but is the strongest candidate to help Democrats take back Congress.

There’s less than 80 days until the midterm primaries that could set up Democrats to reclaim control of the House. The contests in California are essential for the party, which has based its strategy on winning at least a few of the state's Republican-held districts.

This past year has been a momentous one for the empowerment and amplification of women’s voices. From to , the national call to has never been stronger. From sexual assault to domestic violence, we are slowly, but surely, changing the narrative from being victims to being survivors. We are NOT a monolithic voting bloc to “win over,” and we refuse to have our voices silenced in the name of political expediency.

Unfortunately over the past two election cycles, that empowerment has been stripped from the women surrounding the Applegate campaign, and our support of the Colonel’s daughter and ex-wife, by both republican AND DEMOCRATIC opponents.

Women should not have to fight to be believed. Women should not be forced to re-live our trauma in the face of politicians who have chosen to use that trauma to manipulate our political sentiments.......politicians who simultaneously claim to be feminists.

Women 4 Applegate stands with Pricilla Greco.
Women 4 Applegate stand with Reneé Applegate.
Women 4 Applegate stands with the countless survivors who are shouting, “enough is enough.”

Darrell Issa said last year that “politics brings out the worst in people.”
Our mission is to change that.

We need representatives that will fight for students and treat education as a right, not use their power to line their own pockets.

Colonel Doug Applegate is the only candidate in the 49th that supports tuition-free college not based on parental income. For that and much more, he's our candidate to unseat Darrell Issa in 2018!
