A Strong History
Several years ago seeing little or no political action or attention by the Democratic Party in the Diamond Bar/Walnut/Rowland Heights/Chino Hills and neighboring communities, I decided to take a stand. With encouragement and support from others of like mind, my journey began.
Today I proudly serve as Founder and past President of the TRI Counties Democratic Club. The organization stands tall in its vibrant and vigorous local embodiment of the Democratic Party.
A growing and dedicated membership has made possible this now proud, productive political standing of the Democratic Party as a viable voice in local community affairs and beyond. TRI Counties has achieved this feat by pursuing a fair and democratic approach in endorsing candidates, by continuously registering new voters,
those interested in running for political office, and by supporting and volunteering informed advocates to elect and re-elect attractive, qualified Democratic candidates. We are now one of the largest Democratic clubs in our assembly district.
The tumultuous political climate of today demands one’s urgent Involvement. At no other time in history has a compassionate and informed united front mattered so much. Surely it can be agreed that the fight for today is in the name of a secure tomorrow for the cherished children and grandchildren who are the best hope of all.
The hard work and dedication of the membership of TRI Counties Democratic Club affirm it as a rich venue for a sense of connection to the broader affairs of the world. I invite you to share this connection and accept my invitation to join TRI Counties Democratic Club, united under its banner: “Building Tomorrow Together” by continuously registering new voters, by searching and developing.
We are an L.A. County chartered Democratic Club and all democrats are welcome to join!
