The California Democratic Party (CADEM) is the nation’s largest statewide party. We are 10 million Democrats strong, powered by the dreamers and doers of the Golden State. Our mission is to fight for California’s most vulnerable communities, protect working families and ensure that we live up to the promises of the California dream.
CADEM imagines a Golden State that provides everyone with equitable access to improve their lives, good paying jobs, affordable housing, quality education, low-cost no-cost health care, racial justice and equitable protection against the impacts of climate change and more.
California is a Blue state. Today, there are more than 10 million registered Democrats in the Golden State. During the 2020 election, California voter turnout reached 80.7% with more Democrats voting in this election than any other Party. As a result, California maintained a Democratic majority in both chambers of the California State Legislature while gaining two state senate seats, maintaining the House, flipping the Senate and taking back the White House. Democrat elected officials make up 75% of both the state’s legislative chambers. On a federal level, California Democrats hold 42 of the 53 congressional seats, both U.S. Senate positions and maintain all the statewide seats in California.
Looking ahead, we know that the road to recovering from the global pandemic won’t be easy. As we move forward, CADEM is committed to doubling down on our work year-round while investing in long term investments in organizing Democrats across the state. We’ll do that by emboldening our grassroots campaign through small-dollar donor contributions, maximizing direct support to Democratic candidates, investing in our Party’s internal and external fundraising infrastructure, and empowering people powered leaders from the local to federal level. Now more than ever, we must activate and unite Democrats of all stripes to protect the values of the Democratic Party.
