In lieu of our normal monthly meeting, we’ll be holding a candidate forum for the 45th Congressional District.
There are still a bunch of people in the race, but we’ve invited the four most viable candidates thus far, Brian Forde, Kia Hamadanchy, Dave Min, and Katie Porter. Only Canyon Dems Members will be able to participate in a straw poll at the end, ranking the performance of the candidates at the forum.
Due to an overwhelming response, we’ve sold out of tickets. Members can still get in for free, but we’ve closed purchasing new memberships until Wednesday (after the forum). We want to thank everyone for the incredible enthusiasm we’ve received for this event. We truly believe the Blue Wave is ready to sweep South Orange County like never before. If you missed out for this event and want to be in the know for all of our upcoming events, please sign up for our mailing list on our home page!
For our members and ticketed guests, please arrive early to the forum! We have a sold out crowd and we will start promptly at 7:00 PM. No signs or items that make noise will be allowed inside the forum. No recording will be permitted.

Let’s set the course for 2023! We invite you to be a part of this vibrant discussion to take our club to new heights.
After our regular committee reports we will meet in small groups to discuss:

What do you like about the club & what areas can be improved?
What topics are you interested in learning about for next year?
How can we encourage folks to run for local office?
What are new ways to raise money both within & outside of the club?

Mission Viejo Public Hearing: District-Based Elections
2018-01-12 18:00 - 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Council Chamber, 200 Civic Center, Mission Viejo, 92691, United States
The City Council of Mission Viejo will be holding a public hearing at 6:00 PM in the Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center to discuss the City’s interest in and the process for transitioning from at-large to district-based council member elections. If you live in Mission Viejo and want to make your voice heard on this subject, be sure to show up early! This is the fourth of five public hearings that will be held on this topic and the City Council will vote on the matter at the last one. To find out more about the hearing, visit the City of Mission Viejo’s website here.
If you’re not sure what the difference is between district-based and at-large elections, you can view the city’s description and the reason why they’ve undertaken the hearings for a potential transition here. Generally, “at-large” elections mean that every voter in Mission Viejo votes for every seat on the City Council. District-based elections split the city into smaller districts and voters of each district elect a council member from their own district. District-based elections are often favorable for smaller neighborhoods or diverse cities to have minority viewpoints find representation on a council rather than getting shut out completely.
If you have questions about what this change could mean or how to participate your local City Council meetings, let us know by emailing us info@canyondems.org.

General Meeting
2017-10-17 18:30 - 21:00 UTC | Home of a Mission Viejo Member, Mission Viejo, CA, United States
Come join us for a double dose of candidates at our October monthly meeting!

Meet Brian Forde, Candidate for CD-45!
Brian was born and raised in Tustin. He built his first computer, took his first college course, and started his first company in District 45. Brian has spent his life using technology to help others, from the Peace Corps to the White House.
“I’m a Democrat and I worked in the Obama White House, so it might surprise you to learn that my parents are two lifelong Republicans. In 2012, my parents – two of the most loving, supportive people you’ll ever meet – voted to kick my boss out of office.
Let’s just say Thanksgiving dinner that year was awkward.”
Read more at Brian’s website.

Meet Dr. Hans Keirstead, Candidate for CD-48
“I’m running for Congress because through my work in medicine and business I have learned that innovative thinking is needed to inspire change. I revolutionized the treatment of spinal cord injuries by re-thinking how cells are developed and used as treatment, which allowed people to regain movement and sensation to limbs that were previously paralyzed. This same lateral approach can be used in Washington to fix our systemic problem of gridlock with innovative outside-the-box techniques.”
