Our March Meeting

Join the West Side Dems on Monday, March 18, 6:00 at the Taylor Ranch Library, to learn how you can help save our Democracy. Sarah Polsin, Field Director for the Vasquez Campaign, will be our guest. She will tell how each of us can be involved in Gabe’s re- election.

We did it once. We can do it again. 

We elected Gabe Vasquez to Congress in 2022. But now the stakes are higher. We saw what happened on January 6, 2021. Republican legislators voted to deny Joe Biden’s election. They hoped to throw the election into the House of Representatives where, because of gerrymandering, Trump could win. But Democrats controlled the House of Representatives, and Joe Biden was declared the winner.

Today the Republicans control the House by a thin majority. They could steal the election, if it is successfully challenged there.

The re- election of Gabe Vasquez is necessary to win back the House. And Gabe’s victory depends on what we do on the West Side. 

The survival of our Democracy may depend on us westsiders. Whether you are in CD 2 or CD 1, as a person committed to preserving Democracy, we call on you to help Gabe win.

Our Mission
To Serve the 88,000 Democrats
Living on the West Side

Democrats Care!

We encourage and support candidates who will work for the good of everyone in our community. We believe in a government that is truly “of the people, by the people, and for the people”…not just for corporations, Wall Street, or the rich.

United By A Common Goal…

Social justice and human rights are more important than corporate profits. We seek to improve the quality of life for all of our residents through grass-roots support of candidates who listen and work to implement liberal programs and legislation.​

Get Involved…

Your candidates can’t win without your help. Canvassing, phone banking, word-of-mouth, volunteering, and donating are all ways to work together to achieve our common goals.
