This collaborative slate features two Pleasant Hill residents- Michelle Simone and Ena Silva alongside Concord resident Leslie Baxter and Walnut Creek resident Laura Patch. This slate of candidates represents a powerful alignment of community leaders and elected officials. The endorsement from Our Revolution National, an organization born from the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, alongside the multi-union supported Working Families Party of California, underscores the significance of these small central committee races in shaping the local political landscape.

The unprecedented support for this collective slate signals a broader acknowledgment of the crucial role central committee races play in our community. It injects a fresh wave of energy and vision into local campaigns, highlighting the pivotal role of grassroots efforts in Contra Costa County.

“Think global, act local," is a popular saying among active community members and this convergence of national and state organizations in local politics is nothing short of inspiring for our county residents. The endorsement momentum prompts us to embrace the transformative energy these candidates bring to our community and how that energy can make a difference. As we approach this election, it's crucial to recognize that our choices extend beyond the ballot—they actively contribute to shaping the narrative of Contra Costa County's future.
