SBCDCC Statement on ICE raids & the disrespect of Sen Padilla
The San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee condemns the overly aggressive actions by ICE officers who are raiding communities and rounding up neighbors in LA County and across the country. ICE’s actions are unwarranted, unnecessary, and most definitely unwanted.
ICE agents claim to be looking for criminals and freeloaders, instead we see ICE going to workplaces and chasing farmworkers through fields at 6:00 AM. Is that really where criminals and freeloaders hang out? Of course not.
ICE has shown that they will go after anyone: documented or undocumented, adults or children, young or old, frail or healthy, US Senators or Congresswomen. ICE’s only real mission seems to be to terrorize and disrupt any and everyone.
The San Bernardino County Democratic Central Committee stands firmly against the ICE raids,the attempts at mass deportations, the terrorization of immigrants, the disruption of immigrant communities, the manhandling and handcuffing of Senator Alex Padilla, and the arrests of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver and Mayor Ras Baraka.
We applaud the Congressional delegations that have attempted to visit the detention centers and we stand with them in their ongoing attempts to ensure the detainees receive due process and are treated humanely.

2024 Local Election Candidate Endorsement process is closed
Congratulations on your decision to run for public office! The San Bernardino County Democratic Party (SBCDP) is committed to electing Democrats at all levels of government.
Here are the steps to the SBCDP endorsement process:
- $25.00 Application fee – Payable here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/candfee2024#
- Written questionnaire – Click here to start: https://forms.gle/XifG3wjEab6tUZdr8
- Candidate interview
- Interview committees submit endorsement recommendations to the SBCDP voting members
- The SBCDP voting members accept or reject the recommendations
If you are running for a local seat that will be on the November 5, 2024 ballot and wish to seek the SBCDP endorsement, you must complete steps 1 and 2 by Friday, August 2nd.
Once received, an interview will be scheduled with each candidate. The SBCDP voting members will make the final decision on the committee’s recommendations at a special General Membership meeting in August.
Waivers for the application fee will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
The candidate interview will be conducted by a panel of volunteers from the SBCDP.
Endorsement is a two-step process: The interview panels will make a recommendation for each office to the voting members of the SBCDP. The SBCDP voters will ratify or reject the recommendation at the Special General Membership meeting in August.
Questions: Contact Stacey at sbdemocrat@gmail.com
Some basic considerations before a candidate seeks endorsement by the SBCDP:
- Candidates must be a registered Democrat at the time of seeking endorsement by the SBCDP.
- The SBCDP strongly encourages candidates to seek the recommendation of their local Democratic club prior to seeking endorsement from the SBCDP.
- SBCDP can only endorse candidates running for local or county, non-partisan offices. If candidates have been endorsed by the state or national party, they don’t need to go through this process. They already have our endorsement.
