FONTANA DEMS ENDORSE ELOISE REYES FOR STATE SENATE

On the eve of Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Reyes’ campaign kickoff in Fontana the Fontana Dems Club proudly announced the Club’s endorsement of her campaign for State Senate for District 29. In a unanimous vote for endorsement, club members recognized her unwavering progressive values and dedication to environmental protection, advocacy for veterans, and the Democratic platform. Her strong commitment to community and her leadership within the Democratic Party make her the ideal candidate for this position.

As an environmental champion, Assm. Majority Leader Reyes has been a strong advocate for sustainable policies that prioritize the health of our planet as well as to protect the health of the people of District 29 and the state of California. She understands the urgent need to address climate change and is committed to working towards a greener future for all, as well as ensuring a fair and equitable transition for environmental justice communities like ours. Her willingness to listen to the people of the community and small business owners instead of big-money donors has been instrumental to ensuring local environmental advocates have a voice at the Capitol.

Eloise Reyes is also a vocal advocate for veterans, and has consistently fought for their rights and well-being. She understands the challenges that veterans face and is committed to ensuring that they receive the support and resources they need to thrive.

Importantly, Eloise recognizes the importance of grassroots empowerment and progressive solidarity in driving meaningful political change. She has a proven track record of working
with community organizations, local leaders, and small businesses, and engaging young people to enact real change on the ground.

We are confident that Eloise Reyes will continue to be a passionate and effective advocate for all residents of our state when she is elected to the State Senate. We urge all voters to
support her campaign and help her bring about the positive change we need. Reyes’ 2024 campaign kickoff will be held on June 15th from 6-8 pm at Pancho Villa Restaurant, 10210
Juniper Ave. in Fontana. Tickets are available at bit.ly/egrkickoff.

FONTANA DEMS LAUNCH MONTHLY GUEST SPEAKER SERIES

Fontana, CA, March 23, 2023 – This Saturday, March 25th, the newly reestablished Fontana Dems Club is excited to launch a monthly guest speaker series program beginning with Democratic Majority Leader Assemblymember Eloise Gómez Reyes and 2022 Chino Hills City Council Candidate and student leader, Diego Fernandez.  Brunch is available for $15 purchased in advance or $20 at the door, and meal begins at 10am at Las Playas Restaurant on Valley Blvd.  The free program is scheduled to begin at 10:30am.

With more than 57,000 party members in the area, the monthly series is hosted by the club for registered Democrats to stay at the forefront of progressive issues, take local action, and learn about party and legislative news.

“Another big election is coming up quickly,” said Bobbi Jo Chavarria, Vice-President of the Club. “From local city council races to the Presidential election, we hope to keep Fontana Democrats informed and engaged and this guest speaker series will provide that avenue with party leaders, experts, activists, and others as guests.”

With 49.6% of voters in the city registered as Democrats (compared to 20.6% Republican), voter registration in Fontana gives Democrats a clear electoral advantage, but only one Democrat sits on the city council. The Fontana Dems Club leaders and members are ready to change that to address key issues like traffic, public safety, air quality, and economic opportunity.

The guest speaker series launches this Saturday, March 25 at 10am at Las Playas Restaurant, 16491 Valley Blvd. Tickets are available at bit.ly/FDCSpeakerSeries and at the door and includes breakfast. Guest speakers include Assm. Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes and Mt. Sac student leader Diego Fernandez.
