Central Committee Candidates 2024

Democratic Central Committee Election

For Central Committee Election results, follow THIS LINK

The Santa Clara County Democratic Central Committee is the governing body of the Democratic Party in our County.  Every four years, six Central Committee Members are elected from each of the six Assembly Districts in Santa Clara County.  These election contests appear on the same ballot page as the Presidential Primary contest.  

The boundaries of the six Assembly Districts do not align with the boundaries of the County, so each Assembly District is home to a differing number of Democratic voters.  In order to balance representation to account for these differences, the Central Committee bylaws define a procedure for appointing additional elected-equivalent members.  These additional members are selected from the runners-up in the six contests, in order of their rank by votes cast.  The total number of Members from each Assembly District are as follows:

  • Assembly District 23 – 8
  • Assembly District 24 – 6
  • Assembly District 25 – 10
  • Assembly District 26 – 9
  • Assembly District 28 – 8
  • Assembly District 29 – 6

DO NOT vote for more than six candidates. The Central Committee will add the elected equivalent members, in order of their rank by votes cast.

The Registrar of voters does not post candidate statements for the Central Committee elections.  The League of Women Voters has posted candidate statements in the past, but has not done so for this election.  Voters seeking information about the candidates can do a Google search for: 

<candidate name> Democratic central committee

A list of the candidates for each Assembly District follows.  Each name is a link to a Google search as described above.  

Assembly District 23

Assembly District 24

Assembly District 25

Assembly District 26

Assembly District 28

Assembly District 29

Fewer than six candidates filed.
No election is necessary.
