Palos Verdes Peninsula Democratic Club
The Palos Verdes Peninsula Democratic Club was founded in 1952. Since then, we have remained an active participant in both local and national politics.

Our monthly meetings often feature guest speakers who address current political or social issues. Special events include opportunities to meet our elected local, state, or national representatives, as well as events where candidates for office can be seen and heard.


The Democratic Club is offering meetings that will take a hard look at how the current fiscal crisis affects us all with a series entitled “The Economy and the Peninsula,” which will explore the impact our economic crisis is having on various aspects of our lives.

July 19, 2009 Democratic Club Meeting


PVP Democrats will hear from Ron C. Smith, who is on the Board of Directors of the West Basin Metropolitan Water District.

The meeting will be held at a private home.  More information to follow. 

The June meeting honored Betty Karnette for her years of service.  Assemblymember Bonnie Lowenthal reported on California’s financial situation, including the status of budget negotiations and the prospects for draconian budget cuts in the state.

At our May meeting at Sheila Papayan's beautiful home, PVP School Board Vice President Dora de la Rosa spoke about the mail-in parcel tax (Proposition V) and how necessary a "yes" vote is to maintain the excellent quality our Palos Verdes public schools enjoy.

At the April 19th meeting RHE Mayor Judy Mitchell, who also is president of the League of California Cities, and RPV Mayor Larry Clark, who also is a California Coastal Commissioner spoke on the state budget situation and how it relates to our local governments.

At the March 15th meeting, we explored the impact this crisis has on environmental issues with speakers Andrea Vona, executive director of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, and David Allgood, Southern California director, California League of Conservation Voters
