Latest Updates Concerning Our Democratic Party

Untethered, this administration is moving us rapidly towards a fully authoritarian state, with military in our streets, immigration raids, and continuing assaults on our rights and freedoms.

We can no longer always go high when they go low. The depths to which they will sink seem unfathomable.

Therefore, the Marin Democratic Party DCCM fully supports Governor Newsom’s urgent call to approve new Congressional districts by special election. We need to be prepared to fight fire with fire. This action will only be triggered by Republicans manipulating maps in other states as they know they cannot win on issues or policy.

We can no longer sit back and wait for things to return to normal. Now is the time to act. Join Marin Democrats in supporting the Election Rigging Response Act. Email marindems@gmail.com to volunteer.

LETTER OPPOSING FAIRFAX RECALL 

Marin Democrats Endorse a NO Vote on the Recall August 7, 2025

The Marin Democratic Party (DCCM) opposes the current attempt to recall Fairfax Mayor Lisel Blash and Vice Mayor Stephanie Hellman, both of whom were previously endorsed by the Marin Democratic Party and who we believe are serving the Fairfax community well.

This costly and divisive effort is a waste of the people’s time and money. As the Mayor and Vice Mayor will be up for re-election next year, even a successful recall effort would occur shortly before the voters have an opportunity to express their concerns and hopes for their community in next year’s election. That is the appropriate way to resolve policy issues, not by mounting a recall effort that will occur well into their full term in office.

This is not what small town politics should be about. The Marin Democratic Party (DCCM) urges voters  to DECLINE TO SIGN the Notice Of Intent petition or any future petitions supporting this recall effort. We stand with Congressman Huffman, Senate Pro Tem Mike McGuire, ASM Damon Connolly, the Board of Supervisors and a growing number of community leaders in asking voters to Resist the Recall. It is time to bring back civility to our political discourse. It starts locally.
