LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Democratic Party is looking for a few good men and women to join in party activities.

Do you want to be more active in the local Democratic Party? Do you want to participate in party activities locally? Do you want to help shape policy and positions and have a voice in party endorsements at the local level of our party? Do you want to help elect Democrats and help get Lake County Democrats to turn out for elections?

You can do this by running for a seat in the local party. Each supervisor district in Lake County is represented on the county committee by a number of elected or appointed members of the Democratic Party who live in each district.

The number of Democratic County Central Committee members to be elected from each Supervisorial district are:

• Supervisorial District 1 – Five members;

• Supervisorial District 2 – Four members;

• Supervisorial District 3 – Four members;

• Supervisorial District 4 – Four members;

• Supervisorial District 5 – Four members.

In order to run for a seat, interested candidates will need to go to the courthouse to the registrar's office, in person, and file an intent to run and get signature gathering petitions.

Candidates will need to collect valid signatures of 20 Democrats living within their supervisorial district in order to qualify for election.

Those signature petitions must be returned, by the candidate, to the registrar no later than the deadline of March 9.

The beginning date to pull papers was Monday, Feb. 13; filing closes on Wednesday, March 9.

If you've always wanted to get more involved in local and State Democratic Party activities you can run for one of these positions.
