The Mariposa Democratic Club is pleased to announce we will be focusing on the primary election for the next two meetings, our April meeting (Saturday, April 9) and our May meeting (Saturday, May 14). Both meetings start at 9:45 a.m. at Miner’s Roadhouse; please join us at 9:00 if you want to purchase breakfast first.
Our April meeting is focused on candidates opposing Congressman McClintock and Assemblymember Bigelow. We have four confirmed candidates coming to speak to us: Robert Derlet, a physician from Twain Harte, who is running against Rep. McClintock; and the three candidates running against Assemblymember Bigelow – Robert Carabas of Twain Harte, Kai Ellsworth of Greenwood, and Mark Belden of Mokelumne Hill.
In May, we will be focusing on the Board of Supervisor races.
We encourage everyone, regardless of political affiliation, to come to the meetings to meet the candidates; it’s a good way to find out what they are passionate about and what they want to do for the areas they represent. Local politics is important; this is a good step in the voting decision process.
The Mariposa Democratic Club meets the second Saturday of most months at Miner’s Roadhouse Restaurant. Join us at 9:00 a.m. if you want to purchase breakfast or at 9:45 a.m. for the speaker and meeting.
