SLOCDP’s “What’s the Plan?” Town Hall
Saturday, June 6 - San Luis Obispo
Update: State Senate President Pro Tempore Monique Limón confirmed for speaker lineup
The votes are in and still being counted, and we won’t know the outcome of several important races for several more days. This includes the SLO County supervisor races in Districts 2 and 4.
As of Wed., June 3, our informed estimate is that two-thirds of the votes countywide have yet to be counted. County Clerk-Recorder Elaina Cano tells us there will be a fairly large release of results sometime on June 4.
This is a trend among Democratic voters statewide, unofficially attributable to millions who may have held their ballots until the last minute due the governor's race drama.
Locally, a major development is that state Senate President Pro Tempore Monique Limón – who represents the southern portion of SLO County from Arroyo Grande to the Santa Maria River – will be on the stage Saturday to participate in this important town hall-style update on current Democratic Party dynamics.
Other than the Governor and Assembly Speaker, Sen. Limón is the highest-ranking Democrat in state government. When she speaks, smart people listen.
She’ll be joining Assemblymember Dawn Addis, state Sen. John Laird, Congressman Salud Carbajal and Assemblymember Gregg Hart in an informed, insider’s discussion of what the Democratic Party’s campaign policy platform will be / should be statewide and nationally leading up to the November mid-term election.
This timely, Democrats-only town hall will be our chance to ask questions and hear from our elected leaders about “What’s the Plan?” to take back the House, the U.S. Senate and expand our majorities in the California Legislature.
Importantly, this will also serve as a call to recruit and elevate qualified Democrats who share our values to run in November for city council, school board and special district seats throughout SLO County.
Who: Congressman Salud Carbajal, Assembly Member Dawn Addis, State Senator John Laird, Assembly Member Gregg Hart and California Senate Pro Tempore Monique Limón.
When: Saturday, June 6, 2026 (10 a.m.-12 noon). Coffee, fruit and pastries included.
Where: San Luis Obispo (address provided upon RSVP)
Reservation info: This is a mid-year fundraiser for the SLOCDP to help cover the costs of this event and to put resources behind our endorsed candidates running for office in November.
We’re asking for a $30 donation. This is a request, not a requirement, though ActBlue requires us to charge at least $1 to use its system for signups.
Please give what you can if you can. Regardless, come help support local Democrats.
