This month’s meeting of the Pacifica-Daly City Democrats Club is on Saturday, October 20th.   The Club will present a Midterm Elections Program to discuss the qualified Statewide Propositions on the November ballot, including pro and con arguments and the financial backing underlying each position (as in, “follow the money”).

Ballot measures, with delicious
breakfast: ready to vote.

JUHSD Trustees Andrew Lie and Kalimah Salahuddin have agreed to speak about Jefferson Union High School District Measure Y and Pacifica City Council member Mike O’Neill will discuss San Mateo County Transit District Sales Tax Measure W. The Club has invited the four candidates vying for two vacant San Mateo County Harbor District Commissioner positions to tell us about the SMC Harbor District and their respective qualifications.

The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the rear banquet room at the Sharp Park Golf Course Restaurant.  A full breakfast is available at $12, a continental breakfast at $6 or just coffee for $3, although no purchase is necessary. This meeting is open to the general public. You need not be a member of the Club to attend, although we welcome your membership.
