Who We Are

 

The Santa Clara County Democratic Club has worked continuously since 1980 for values espoused by the Democratic Party: the right of all Americans to a job, a home,  education,  medical care,  privacy, social security, and, of course, a woman's right to choose.

 

We draw our membership from all over Santa Clara County, but most members live in San José, Santa Clara, and Campbell.  The Club is an issues based organization, the only one in the County that makes its very highest priority the achievement of

 

Public Financing of Elections!

 

We are also very active in:

  • Working for universal, single-payer health care;

  • The California Clean Money Campaign;

  • Voter registration;

  • Electing Democratic candidates;

  • The Santa Clara County Democratic Central Committee;

  • The California Democratic Council.

 

 

 

 

 

Elections

 

During election campaigns our members participate in campaigns by organizing and participating in phone banks, fund raising, and precinct walking.

 

Meetings

 

General meetings are held every third Monday of each month (except in one summer month and in December) in the back room of Carrows Restaurant, 3180 El Camino Real, Santa Clara.  Watch our home page for details of upcoming meetings.

 

The Executive Board meetings take place on the fourth Wednesday of every month at the Headen-Inman House, 1509 Warburton Avenue, Santa Clara.  These meetings are open to all members.

 

Events & Activities

 

The Club has several fundraising events throughout the year including a summer function and a winter holiday party.  SCCDC endorses candidates running for office, donates money to worthwhile campaigns, and works to elect Democrats to office.  The Club also works on voter registration.
