Questions & Answers

1. What would you do to increase the number of voters registered in your party?

One of the primary goals of the Santa Clara County Democratic Party is the expansion of voter registration. I have spent countless hours running and volunteering for voter registration drives at various locations in the County. I also believe that through precinct captains, who work their neighborhoods year round, we can reach out to new members of the community and get them registered to vote and involved with the party.

2. What would you do to help the campaigns of candidates of your party?

As Communications Director for the County party, I help publicize the campaign for endorsed candidates and the nominees of the Democratic Party. I write press releases to the local media, make sure that endorsed candidates are publicized on the Democratic Party website, and keep Democratic volunteers informed of ways to help the candidates. I have personally walked precincts all over the Bay Area for Democratic candidates and will continue to do so.

3. Why did you become a member of this political party?

The Democratic Party believes in fairness and progress. I am proud to be a member of the party that has been at the forefront of issues such as civil rights, health care, and the environment. See my political philosophy statement for more details (http://users.sfo.com/~dcohen/political_philosophy.html).
