On the weekends of January 12-13 and January 26-27, the California Democratic Party will have elections for delegates to the CDP central committee. Seven women and seven people of other genders will be elected as delegates in caucuses in each Assembly district. The following video describes the process and the challenge:
The CDP has about 3300 delegates, one third appointed by state and national elected Democratic officials, another third from central committees and the last third elected directly by Democratic voters at bi-annual caucuses. Delegates elected this month will vote to 1) elect a new Chair for the CDP, 2) vote on the endorsement of candidates to the California Legislature and the US House of Representatives, 3) vote on the platform and structure of the party and 4) vote for DNC members.
Democratic Legislators are running slates with delegates to make sure that they get to stay in charge of the party, continue to be able to use it to launder campaign contributions, and assure that their endorsements are not challenged. Reportedly urged by Assembly speaker Anthony Rendon, they are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure that our independent, #unbossed, progressive candidates are not elected.
The Berniecrat/progressive movement, meanwhile, is running our own slates of candidates trying to give ordinary people a say in the Democratic Party. We need everyone’s vote and support.
The following is the list of #unbought and #unbossed progressive candidates and slates that have the support of the Bernie movement and its ideological allies. These slates & candidates are mostly the same as those listed in the “official” site of the progressive movement, adems.vote – but while they list slates for all districts, we list individual candidates in districts that don’t have one single full, progressive slate.
Assembly Districts:
1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12 – 13 – 14 – 15 – 16 – 17 – 18 – 19 – 20 – 21 – 22 – 23 – 24 – 25 –26 – 27 – 28– 29 – 30 – 31 – 32 –33 – 34 – 35 – 36 – 37 – 38– 39 – 40 – 41 – 42 – 43 – 44 – 45 – 46 – 47 – 48 –49 – 50 – 51 – 52 – 53 – 54 –55 –56 –57 –58 – 59 –60 – 61 – 62 –63 – 64 – 65 – 66 – 67 –68 – 69 – 70 – 71 – 72 –73 – 74 – 75 – 76 –77 – 78 – 79 – 80
Don’t know in which AD you live? Find it here. Districts in red are having caucuses on Sunday, January 27th. Districts in gray already had their caucuses. Candidates listed in green have won.
Note: the hours listed are for registration and voting. You must be in line by the end of the voting period to be able to vote. Doors open 1 ½ to 2 hours before registration, with speeches about ½ hour later. Lines are shorter at the end of the voting period, but you must be in line by the end to be allowed to vote.

Selection criteria for appearing in this page
The candidates listed above are solid progressives committed to fight for social, economic, racial, gender and immigration justice, as well as human rights and the environment. Bernie Sanders run for the presidency in 2016, mobilized thousands of Californians and brought them into the political system. About 200 of us became delegates for Bernie Sanders to the Democratic Convention, where we fought to push the Democratic Party to the left. After the convention, we set our sights into reforming the California Democratic Party and pushing Sacramento to pass more progressive legislation. Hundreds of Berniecrats and progressive allies ran for ADEMs in 2017 and we won hundreds of seats. For the last two plus years we’ve been working together and we’ve gotten to know one another, who is solidly progressive, and who is less so.
This list was compiled by Bernie delegate and Progressive California editor Margarita Lacabe with help from Katrina Bergstrom, Karen Bernal, James Elia, Cody Peterson, Juan JP Vazquez, Natalie Highley, Alfred Twu, Ana I. Gonzalez, Zach Denney, Tim Johnson, Robert Longer, Alison Flemings Buliavac, Kevin Lourens, Melissa Demyan, Carrie Scoville, Betty Doumas, Martha Camacho Rodriguez, Emily Cameron, Nicole Lutkemuller, Dominic Dursa, Natalya Jackon, Jean-Paul Wolfe, Jane Demian, Kelsey Pressnall, Ivan Enriquez, Glenn Glazer, Lucas De Sanctis Barton, Socorro Cisneros, Cathy Willot, Una Lee Jost, Caty Wagner, Victor García, Ron Birnbaum, Sarah Armstrong Saunders, Sal Cazarez, Jay Franco-Clausen, Marlin Medrano, Angel Rodriquez, Anne Mohr, Deborah Burger, Isaac Lieberman, RN, Kenji Yamada, Jorge Lopez, Jestin Samson, Jim Hesson, Jay Ariél Cortez, Greg Diamond, Morgan Lindsay Hannigan, Paul Seger, Mark Van Landuyt, Ava Kennedy, Gina Gates, Emma Jenson, Lorraine Salas, Phil Kim, Perry Lloyd, David Welch, Melissa Michelson, William Summerville, Johannes Münzel, and many other Berniecrats and progressive activists throughout the state. Names have been added and substracted as more information comes about. Whenever possible, we are including candidates who have a record of progressive activism and who will be independent of elected officials in casting their votes. Names in bold are those whose progressive activism is vouched for by the editors of this post.
The following voter recommendations come from Monterey City Council member and Bernie Sanders delegate Alan Haffa.
