Dems Get Ready to Grow
Martha Gamez, with the California Democratic Party (CDP), is making a special guest appearance in Mariposa on Saturday, January 14, 2017.
Gamez is CDP’s Regional Director for Region 4 which includes Assembly Districts 5, 12, 13 and 21 encompassing 12 counties. Her work involves growing the red and rural districts in California for the Democratic Party.
Gamez began in 2006 by working to elect Jerry McNerney, Congressman for the 9th District representing parts of San Joaquin County, East Contra Costa County, and southern Sacramento County. Her success meant McNerney defeated Richard Pombo, a Republican 14 year veteran of Congress.
After that Gamez went to work for the Democratic National Committee, as part of the State Partnership Program, which was Howard Dean's vehicle for implementing his 50-State Strategy, and was assigned to the California Democratic Party. After that assignment, she went to work directly for the CDP. Gamez has traveled extensively throughout California working with grassroots activists, Democratic county central committees and chartered clubs providing assistance and trainings. She has also worked closely on the 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014 campaigns.
While in Mariposa she will be speaking to the Mariposa County Democratic Central Committee, as well as the Mariposa Democratic Club, about ways to grow.
This should be an interesting topic for anyone who wants to learn how to get involved in the political process. The public is invited to attend Saturday, January 14, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. at the Miners Roadhouse, corner of Hwy 140 and 49. Please arrive at 9 a.m. if you wish to have breakfast.
This event is sponsored by the Mariposa Democratic Club and is free to attend. Coffee and water will be served.
