Mission
The mission of the East County Democratic Club is to create an environment that fosters Democratic ideals, where Democrats in the East County area can network, stimulate activist interests, become informed about issues, support the Democratic Party Platform, and contribute by taking an active role in shaping the politics of our city, county, state, and country.

San Diego's East County Democratic Club provides opportunities for active political participation for members of the California Democratic Party. We welcome Democrats who want change and are willing to do something to get it now. Come to a meeting; participate in fundraising for local candidates. Recruit the best Democrats to run.

The East County Democratic Club has been meeting in the East County since 1965.

Club Objectives:
To identify Democrats in San Diego's East County and to assist in developing a positive image of the Democratic Party; to identify viable candidates and assist them in assuming positions of leadership; and to develop an active and productive group of workers, leaders and candidates of the Democratic Party.

Network with Other Democrats

With today's corporate media, you might wonder if there are any other Democrats in the area. Well, despite impressions, you’re not alone. There are over 100,000 registered Democrats in the East County Area.

We believe:

  • our leaders must be held accountable for their actions.
  • the country should not go into debt to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
  • everyone should have affordable healthcare.
  • education is the key to our future and must be funded.
  • a woman has a right to choose.
  • Americans should not be subjected to warrantless spying.
  • disaster relief is more than a fly-over.
  • our environment must be protected for future generations.
  • in the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law, not men.

Attend a club meeting and make some new friends!

We welcome Cuyamaca and Grossmont College Students who are registered Democrats to join the East County Democratic Club. Don't be fooled. The Democratic Party addresses the concerns of Students far better than our opponents.

Serves the communities of El Cajon, Rancho San Diego, Jamul, Alpine, Lakeside and outlying San Diego County.

Anyone can be a member, regardless of your residence location!

Collaboration Site:

We use this web site as a common area for collaboration.
  • Common Collaboration Site - This "Web" on the collaboration platform is used for general (all east county) activities.
  • Common Calendar - Please help by adding your events!
  • El Cajon City Council Minutes - This page provides simple links to the El Cajon City Council Minutes. They use a javascript method for access on the City's site that keeps Google from spidering the minutes. This page simply provides links to the City Website and allows google to spider these files and therefore, provide the informtion to the public.

Take Action
If you are tired of shouting at the TV and want to help take action, the East County Democratic Club can help. We recognize that people feel comfortable participating at different levels so we provide a wide range of activities, including:

  • outreach efforts
  • registering voters
  • writing letters
  • formulating political strategy

Nothing will change if we remain silent.

Activism for the sake of getting the party's messages out to the community can be very energizing. Democrats learn to get their information from alternative news sources and then check it very carefully for "spin," "bias," and "basic truth".

FACT: Locally, nearly every print or broadcast news source, from the advertising weeklies to the "dailies," from radio to TV, is owned and hands-on operated by a Republican or group of Republicans, and are all subject to the will of conservative stock-holders.

Meetings
The East County Democratic Club is dedicated to helping its members stay current with the political situation. Club meetings feature presentations by Democratic elected officials and activists and also interactive member discussions on current issues.
