Jess was asked what lies ahead for him now given his retirement from the chairman role. He is still planning to serve on the Democratic National Committee. Thanks to Jess Durfee club members had an excellent overview of the successes he achieved for the party, for the causes we all support and for the rise and success of Democratic candidates in turning the county blue.
We extend our thanks and best wishes to Jess for continued success in all he takes on in the future. Jess summarized the activities of the party which were quite extensive, particularly for and the recent general election: Voter registration efforts by the all-volunteer Voter Registration Team were extremely effective in registering thousands of first time voters. I reserved jessdurfee. But I was late to the Twitter bandwagon. Since the offending accounts were clearly meant to be deceptive — in violation of user rules — they were shut down within days.
We noticed that the accounts of the county Republican Party and its chair, Tony Krvaric, had been suspended too. Durfee said a Biden campaign would be different, but both the former veep and the current senator have the potential to prevail. He noted that Rep. Mike Levin in the purple 49th District, who helped flip Orange County blue in November , received a campaign boost — from Sanders.
But he also could become a superdelegate after — also known as unpledged or automatic delegate. I think he won my district. I would say the county organization has dramatically changed and ratcheted up its involvement. We are also doing more fundraising in the past and are far more competitive than before. And that was a good start. What has happened nationally has really created a lot of momentum among Democrats. The Democrats are more enthusiastic than they ever were before.
I thought President Bush was a good organizing tool for us in Even just her being competitive in the 50th Congressional District and … the fact that they had to spend millions of dollars on a seat where they would normally have to spend a couple hundred thousands of dollars, is an indication that the Republican Party is in trouble.
Despite having a Democratic majority in terms of voter registration, many still see San Diego as a conservative town. Is that the case? Why does it still have that label? There are a lot of issues in which that is absolutely not the case. One obvious one is that this is really a city that took the lead on transforming its city ordinances in terms of civil rights for the [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender] community when they passed the human dignity ordinance in It was long before many cities even looked at that sort of thing.
San Diego City Schools had adopted a domestic partner benefits program long before other school districts around the country had. We were lucky to have Donna decide to jump in at the last minute. Had she done it earlier, she probably would have won that election.
But I could very well say that [Mayor Jerry Sanders] could very well be the last Republican mayor we see for a while. One of the common analyses politicos make about local races is that Republicans seem to have deeper bench strength — that they have a roster of up-and-comers who are well known, well funded and willing to run.
What are the Democrats doing to improve upon that? We were actually in a good position, had the pension crisis not happened. We also saw what happened to former Councilman Michael Zucchet.
