Founded more than 40 years ago by Congressman Henry Waxman, Congressman Howard Berman, Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, former Los Angeles City Controller Rick Tuttle and others, Los Angeles County Young Democrats is the largest organization in Southern California focused on giving young people a voice and a vehicle for activism in local, state, and federal political issues.
With more than 1,200 members and supporters and dozens of local, state, and federal candidates either members or helped into office by the Club, LACYD remains at the forefront of keeping Young Democrats engaged, informed, and heard on issues of importance to young people.
On Sunday, December 4, an unprecedented number of LACYD members gathered to elect members from among our ranks to serve as the 2012 Los Angeles County Young Democrats Executive Board. With more candidates for board positions than LACYD has seen in recent history, this was one of the most well-contested races that our organization has ever held. Even more impressively, despite there being more than 200 ballots cast, some of the races came down to just a few votes.
I am very pleased to announce your 2012 Los Angeles County Young Democrats Executive Board.
President
Congratulations to the winners.
