Happy May Day! We hope you and your family are well.
We had an excellent meeting with our Congressman, Mike Levin via Zoom last week.
Here are some noteworthy mentions:
We had a few candidate statements from :
Joe La Cava – San Diego City Council District 1 (Joe is a TPDC member & has been endorsed by our club members)
Tim Nader – San Diego Superior Court Judge – Seat 30 (Tim is a TPDC member & has been endorsed by our club members).
Please consider supporting our club endorsed candidates in any way possible such as volunteering for their campaign or monetary donations if possible.
