This is not an official Davis Democratic Club event. This is for a presentation by a current 4th assembly candidate and a person running for Davis City Council. This is an opportunity to hear from Democrat Bill Dodd and Democrat Sheila Allen running for public office. These announcements are from G Richard Yamagata, Davis Democratic Club Recording Secretary. This event is this coming Wednesday, March 19. --------------------- MARCH 19, 2014 -- This Wednesday Announcement: This is a free event that we thought that people, especially Democrats of the community of Davis would like to attend to be informed. Greetings Davis Democratic Volunteers and Supporters, You are all cordially invited to the DavisProBiz Exchange meeting this coming Wednesday. The featured speakers will be: Bill Dodd, who is currently running for the 4th Assembly District race. This meeting is to get to know who he is and what are his thoughts about the 4th Assembly District. The second speaker will be Sheila Allen, who is running for Davis City Council. Sheila is well known in the community of Davis and is a current Davis School Board Member. She is also a Davis Democratic Club member. Both of these candidates are Democrats. It is unfortunate, but the DavisProBizExchange will NOT be inviting any of the registered Republican candidates for Assembly and City Council. All of the Republican candidates declared on the last day of filing for City Council and Assembly and the PBE had already scheduled the speakers and there is no more room for candidates to speak. We may have Republican candidates show up at our May 28 meeting -- 9 weeks away, but they are not scheduled to speak. All PBE visitors are given less than 2 minutes to speak. Our featured speakers are given 15 to 20 minutes to present. The meeting is on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 starting at 11:45AM and ends 1PM at the International House in Davis. There is no charge for this event. Please RSVP to G Richard Yamagata if you will be attending, so we can order enough food.

The Yolo County Democratic Central Committee interviewed them as did the Davis Vanguard, since all candidates for office have been interviewed regardless of Party affiliation. "Today Larenda Delaini, a Deputy Attorney General and Yolo County native announced her candidacy for the Yolo County Superior Court seat that will be vacated by Judge Mock." (January 28, 2014 davisvanguard.org) In addition, there is a judicial candidates forum on Sunday, March 23, 2014 at the Davis Library in the Blanchard Room at 5:00 PM.
