There's no better way to achieve change than by joining one of the local campaigns endorsed by the Monterey County Democrats. You can have a good time and be a huge help by volunteering with door-to-door or phone teams. If you don't have time for that, you can help out by making a contribution to our local campaign fund. Here are the campaigns we've endorsed:
Carmel Valley: Yes on Measure G - 
Keep Carmel Valley Rural You can help keep Carmel Valley rural by joining their phone and walking campaign. This measure is one of those rare opportunities where local residents can take hold of their own destiny, by gaining local control over land
development, open space preservation and traffic. We note that the opposition is funded primarily by developers.

City of Carmel: No on Measure I - Keep Mission Trail Park Whole 
Measure
I is a plan to remove the heart of Mission Trail Park and put it up for sale:
gone forever, in exchange for a short-term gain the city doesn't even need. It
would set a terrible precedent and would be irreversible. For more information about the property in question, please visit the
Flanders Foundation website.
Become Active: To join their phone campaign e-mail the
Committee to Oppose Measure I.
City of Pacific Grove: Yes on Measure J - Keep Pacific Grove Library Open
Measure J amounts to an up or down
vote on the Pacific Grove library If Measure J succeeds, the library will stay open. If it
fails, it will almost certainly close next year. PG voters have a chance to say "I will
not let the library close - not in our town."
Become Active: To join their phone campaign, please
contact Susan Steele. For more information on the Pacific Grove Library,
visit its website.
City of Salinas: Yes on Measure K - A Penny for Peace
Measure K expands
gang prevention programs, in-school anti-gang education, after-school
recreation, tutoring, mentoring and job training programs that keep
youth on the right track and away from gangs and drugs.
Measure K
hires more police officers and implements a new, neighborhood-oriented
policing vision for Salinas. It expands community policing and more
effectively brings neighbors, businesses, and youth together over the
long-term to fight gangs and violent crime.
Measure K is
A Penny For Peace. All funds stay
local - nothing can be taken by Sacramento or Washington.

Yes on K campaign website.
