Following our discussion with Kimberly Ellis last month, we welcome Nick Lochrie, intern with Speaker Pro Tempore Kevin Mullin.
Nick Lochrie, intern to Speaker Pro Tempore Kevin Mullin, wants to see more young people engaged in politics. He'll explain ACA-4, Mullin's proposed state constitutional amendment to allow 17-year-olds to vote in primaries if they turn 18 by the general election.

Join Us For The Future Of
The Democratic Party In Our County!
Become An Associate Member
And Join A Committee!!!
Getting and Staying Involved
Interaction and building of all our current Democratic Clubs is a priority. Regular reports, inviting club membership to our monthly meetings, and encouraging them to join a committee or become an alternate/associate member is important for all of us. The more, the merrier!
I want to remind everyone that as elected members of the Central Committee, it is our responsibility to be representatives of Democratic values to the people of our County--helping to educate and guide them and finding and promoting Democratic candidates at all levels of service to our community. This year’s board or associate members could become the next city council person, supervisor, assemblymember, or senator.
There are many ways to get involved with the San Mateo County Democratic Party and we invite all local Democrats to support their Party by volunteering. Please take a look at our Web page, Facebook, or Twitter to keep abreast of events or issues that may be of interest. Make sure when you’re participating in a Democratic event that you use social media to get the word out. Make everyone want to be where you are!
Help me in inviting all local Democrats to join us in keeping San Mateo County BLUE!
Democratically Yours,
Nicole Fernandez
