CADEM Announces Senate District 30 Special Election Endorsement Caucus Meeting

Senate District 30 includes Culver City, Ladera Heights, and Westmont and the Crenshaw, Downtown, and Florence neighborhoods of Los Angeles

SACRAMENTO, CA – The California Democratic Party (CADEM) today announced a Special Election Endorsing Caucus (Caucus) for Senate District 30 (SD-30). The Caucus, made up of the 2019 – 2021 Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC), will vote to endorse a candidate to replace Senator Holly Mitchell who was recently sworn-in to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

“Senator Holly J. Mitchell has been a trailblazer for California and the California Democratic Party,” said Rusty Hicks, Chair of CADEM. “During her time serving in the Legislature, Sen. Mitchell was a leader in creating solutions to address inequities in our communities. Looking forward, CADEM is thrilled to work with Democrats in the district to ensure that there is a fair and transparent endorsement process,” continued Hicks.

Working with the Caucus, CADEM will mail endorsement ballots to members in SD-30 this month. Members must submit their vote-by-mail ballot through email to [email protected] or by mailing the ballot to the Regional Director at P.O. Box 640, Van Nuys, CA 91408. Ballots should be received by 5 p.m. on Monday, January 4, 2021. Proxy voting will not be allowed.

The endorsement meeting will take place on January 4 at 5 p.m. before the special primary election on March 2. If no candidate wins more than half the general vote during the primary election, a special runoff election will be held on May 4.
