What is the ADEM election?

• The CA Democratic Party Assembly District Elections (ADEM elections) are held in each of the 80 Assembly Districts in order to elect representatives as Assembly District delegates to the CA Democratic Party Democratic State Central Committee (and one representative per Assembly District to the CDP Executive Board Representative).

• Delegates choose the party leadership, set the policy platform, and make endorsements on state and federal elections.

• It’s important we elect pro-public education and pro-labor candidates!
