Renew Your Membership
March 6, 2026
The new year starts a new year for the Davis Democratic Club. It is time to renew your membership for this year. We now have a new web site and our Facebook, X, and Bluesky accounts are going strong making our views known to everyone.
We will have club elections on April 7 at 7 PM and will elect a new club President for this year.
This is also an election year and we will be supporting our local, state and national candidates.
We are working to get control of the House and Senate to stop the President. Your support will help us with this project.
We need your help this year.
Thanks,
Gary Hopkins
Membership Chair

2026 California Primary Election
2026 primary elections is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to shape the future of our community. Primaries decide who makes it onto the ballot in November, which means your voice matters before the big election even begins.
By showing up and casting a vote, you help choose the leaders and ideas that best reflect your values, strengthen democracy, and keep our system accountable. If you want change—or want to protect what matters to you—this is where it starts.
Primary Election Date
June 2, 2026 — California’s statewide primary, conducted under the state’s nonpartisan “top‑two” system.
