On September 26, 2024 the California Secretary of State and county election officials will start mailing voter information guides to ALL eligible voters.
Now more than ever, we need your help to elect California’s very own Vice President Kamala Harris as President of the United States and take back the House. Over the next few weeks, Democrats across our state will be knocking on doors, texting friends, and making phone calls to emphasize the importance of voting this election season.
As part of our outreach efforts, we are asking you to share CADEM’s voter resources, information about our voter protection team, and our endorsements.
