Vote NO on Associate Justice Carol Corrigan!

Clairemont Democrats,

On your November ballot, there will be retention elections for two Associate Justices of the California Supreme Court. One of those Associate Justices is Carol Corrigan.

She is a Schwarzenegger appointee from 2005. Back in 2008, the state of California successfully overturned a marriage ban for same-sex couples. Associate Justice Carol Corrigan was one of three judges who dissented. Then, Justice Corrigan ruled in favor of sustaining Prop 8 as the law of the land in the historic Strauss v. Horton case that deemed it unconstitutional. If she is retained, she will be able to serve another 12-year term on the California Supreme Court — that means she won’t be back in front of voters until 2030!

We are proud to stand with our friends at the San Diego Democrats for Equality in asking voters to vote NO on Carol Corrigan.

Please make sure that you are up-to-date with your voter registration. If you have moved since the last election, or need to change or update other information, you may do so online: registertovote.ca.gov

Club Meeting: October 9

Hello, Clairemont Democrats!

John Hartley, former San Diego City Councilmember and champion on a local clean elections initiative will be our guest speaker on Tuesday, October 9th.

We will also hear from both sides of the SDSU West issue (Measure G) on the ballot this November. Then, we will vote to take a position on both SoccerCity and SDSU West.

Finally, we will take a position on an election that was brought to our attention recently. There will be two retention elections for Associate Justices of the California Supreme Court.

Back in 2008, the state of California successfully overturned a marriage ban for same-sex couples. Carol Corrigan, one of the Associate Justices up for retention election, was one of three judges who dissented. She is a Schwarzenegger appointee from 2005. If she is retained, she will be able to serve another 12-year term on the California Supreme Court — that means she won’t be back in front of voters until 2030!

So, we will be taking a position on that election.

Club Meeting: Tuesday, June 12

Hello, Clairemont Democrats!

Francine Busby, former San Diego County Democratic Party chair, and Jess Durfee, the Western Caucus Chair for the DNC, will be our guest speakers for our meeting on Tuesday, June 12th.

Francine and Jess will be presenting an overview of the results from the 2018 Primary Election, and their thoughts on how Democrats will fare in the November General Election.

Also, given the results from the Primary Election we will be making a recommendation to endorse Democrats Nathan Fletcher and Tommy Hough in their respective run-off races for County Supervisor District 4, and City Council District 6.
