A Message From Our Chair - January 2025

Fellow Democrats,

The new Administration has taken office in Washington, and the results are pretty much as we predicted. The initial actions, mostly in the form of executive orders, seek to target marginalized communities for harassment, undermine efforts to protect the environment, and weaken the guardrails against tyranny, while providing pardons to insurrectionists and threatening conflict with our allies. We are dismayed, but we are not surprised.

We are determined to stand firm for our shared values and the ongoing effort to ensure America lives up to its promise of liberty and justice for all. We will continue to fight for living wages, affordable housing, accessible and affordable health care, a clean and sustainable environment, quality education, free and fair elections, and equal rights — for everyone. As Democrats, we echo the words of Senator Ted Kennedy: “The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.”

In the weeks and months to come, we look forward to dialogue with our neighbors about the issues and concerns that most impact us in Solano County, and how we can address those concerns. Watch for events hosted by your local Democratic club or the central committee near you and join us as we work together for a better, more prosperous, and inclusive community.

Sincerely,

Don Lowrie
Chair

Mission Statement

The Solano County Democratic Central Committee will support the goals and objectives of the Democratic Party of the United States and California, and will engage in all necessary and proper activities in support of that goal, including but not limited to: the support of Democratic Clubs and other Democratic organizations in Solano; the election of qualified Democratic candidates to federal, state, and local office; the support of state and local ballot measures that further Democratic goals; and the development of a network of local campaign resources.

DISCLAIMER

Solano County Democrats,
By April 21, delegates to the California Democratic Convention must turn in their votes for officers to the California Democratic Party. A number of the candidates contacted the central committee and then spoke to the membership during a monthly meeting. The Solano County Central Committee as a body, took no position on any of the candidates. The E Board was recently informed of an article submitted to a local political website. The article falsely carried the Solano County Democratic Central Committee letterhead. Moreover, the article endorsed one of the candidates. The website never placed the article in a public area, though it was briefly available via a link that was emailed to several people. At our request, the SCDCC letterhead was removed from the article. Shortly afterward, the letter and link were both taken down by the website. The Executive board requested a disclaimer to be posted on the website. The group declined to print a disclaimer.

Please Note: The SCDCC letterhead is for the Chair and the Executive Board only. It is illegal for anyone outside of this group to use the letterhead without permission.
