 Democratic Party Strongly Opposed Recall of Madison Nguyen
San Jose City Councilwoman Madison Nguyen has been a great advocate for Democratic Values in Santa Clara
County. The Santa Clara County Democratic Party has gone on record in strongly supporting Councilwoman Nguyen
and opposing her recall in a special election on March 3. Please support Nguyen's campaign to remain as a valuable
advocate on San Jose's City Council by visiting her website.
Democratic Party Takes Stand Against Censorship
The Santa Clara County Democratic Party passed a resolution to stand up against the ill-advised
attempt by right wing groups to filter "objectionable material" in the San Jose library, limiting
access to information for our citizens. We support common sense precautions to protect children in the
library, but oppose blanket censorship that will allow subjective judgements on what will be available to
library patrons.
