Candidate for
Member, Democratic Party County Central Committee; Santa Barbara County; Supervisorial District 1

My name is Daraka Larimore-Hall, and I'm running for re-election to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee.

I grew up in Santa Barbara, went to local schools, and am currently a graduate student working on a PhD in Sociology at UCSB. I've worked as a community organizer, union organizer and teaching assistant.

I have served on the Democratic Central Committee since 2004, when I was appointed to represent then Assemblywoman Hannah-Beth Jackson. Since then, I've served as Vice-Chair and, most recently, Chair of the DCC. In that time, we've greatly increased our ability to run grassroots campaigns to elect Democrats to office, and hold them accountable.

I hope you will join me in continuing to build our local Democratic Party, and the project to cultivate progressive, grassroots leadership that it has become.
