Yet we face an uphill battle to make inroads into Republican domination of the region's city councils, as well as hospital, school, and water boards.
Republicans also have a lock on the congressional and state assembly and senate seats.
We want to capitalize on the fact that registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans in Palmdale, but it takes money to win partisan and nonpartisan elections. We are working hard to get more Democrats registered in Lancaster so we can give Republicans there some serious competition. If you're tired of politics as usual, make a contribution to the Democratic Club of the High Desert. Your money will be used to identify and recruit qualified candidates to run for office, get Democratic messages out in our communities, and to pay the expenses associated with political activity. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated.
