Dear Club Members and Friends,
We had another great club meeting on Thursday. Thanks to our guest speakers from the College Democrats at UC San Diego Sunjay Muralitharan, Calli Tullis, and Henry Taylor-Goalby. Their passion for political activism and civic engagement was impressive.
Thanks also to guest speaker Carol Landale from San Diegans for Gun Violence Prevention (SD4GVP). They have made great progress in balancing the need to preserve public safety with the rights of responsible citizens to own and use guns. There is, of course, much more to be done. We all have a call to action to support these efforts, and Carol provided the following internet links for more information on how you can help:
We Are Highland Park: Sign on to the Open Letter in support of a Federal assault weapons ban.
One year after the Independence Day parade mass shooting in Highland Park, we are calling on our lawmakers — those who have sworn to defend the welfare and liberty of the people — to protect our freedom and our lives by banning assault weapons. We ask that you sign on to this open letter in solidarity with the Highland Park community and in recognition that we are all Highland Park. We are all at risk of being shot and our communities are all at risk of being terrorized by assault weapons. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdFz3nTupNsdefSQsBhtEIzE_yFjpJxFQDJbfB7TKPYiPFNTw/viewform

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES SEEKING ENDORSEMENTS FOR THE MARCH 5, 2024, CALIFORNIA PRIMARY ELECTION
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL PRIMARY CANDIDATES AND TORREY PINES DEMOCRATIC CLUB MEMBERS
The campaign for nominations in the March 5, 2024, California Primary Election will be underway sometime this Fall. Although the nomination filing period under California’s Election Code does not close until mid-December, most candidates seeking nomination will announce their candidacy well in advance and begin their search for supporters and endorsements soon after the Labor Day holiday, which falls this year on September 4th.
Accordingly, the Torrey Pines Democratic Executive Board has determined that consideration of endorsements for the March 2024 primary will be conducted at the September 28th, and October 27th, 2023, regular Club meetings. Any endorsement considerations after October 27th will be at the sole discretion of the Club.
All candidates seeking an endorsement or rating from the Club will be required to complete and submit the Club’s Endorsement Questionnaire in advance of the endorsement hearing and vote of Club members. For more information contact the Club’s Endorsements Director, Jim Smith, at torreypinesdems@gmail.com.
