Welcome to the Rancho Bernardo Democratic Club website
Our club provides an opportunity for citizens to connect with one another, learn about political issues and Democratic values, and help elect Democrats to public office. We meet monthly to hear speakers on issues that affect our community, socialize, and plan activities to support Democratic Candidates.

Our NOvember 23, 2020 meeting
So, how did that election thing go?
Well, it looks our Democracy survived… just barely.
Anyway, our Vice-President Steve Natoli gave a detailed presentation on what happened in the Presidential race (yay!) and in the US House of Representatives (Not nearly as good, we lost seats and we were expecting to win some).
Our Treasurer, Jana Johnson, gave a presentation on the Senate results. We picked up on seat (so far), but the Georgia Senate seats are still up for grabs.
Our President, Hugh Rothman, gave a presentation on the results in the local races (mostly great news, but with some frustrating results mixed in).
Hugh Rothman, with the help of Sunny Escovedo and Jason Bercovitch, also gave a presentation on the upcoming ADEMs, how to become an Assembly District Delegate to the CA State Convention, and what it means.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this meeting occurred via Zoom.
