Phone Bank

With the resignation of former Democratic State Senator Michael Rubio from the 16th State Senate District seat primarily located in Kern County, the Democratic Party supermajority in the State Senate has been diminished to 28 of seats out of a possible 40 - with 27 being the two-thirds threshold.

In a Special Election held in May, It initially appeared that Republican farmer Andy Vidak built a big enough lead in last week's 16th Senate District election to avert a runoff. Fortunately, the final vote totals showed that the Republican candidate did not succeed in avoiding a runoff opening an opportunity for Democratic Kern County Supervisor Leticia Perez to vie for the seat in July 23 general election.

A Vidak win would not deprive Senate Democrats of their two-thirds super majority, but it would reduce it to a 28-12 margin - or a single vote more than required to retain the ability to pass new taxes or constitutional amendments without Republican input.

The California Democratic Party is hosting a virtual phone bank so that activists throughout California can make a difference in the critical race.

If you have a spare hour two to help elect Leticia Perez please visit

This is a critical race for the Democratic Party.
