Democratic County Central Committee
On the Election Day of June 3, 2008, San Francisco voters elected David Chiu to the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) to represent the 13th Assembly District. David placed third out of a highly competitive field of 32 candidates in the 13th Assembly District DCCC race; the top 12 vote getters were elected to the DCCC.
A Democratic leader for many years, David has served as Democratic Counsel to the US Senate Constitution Subcommittee, vice president of the District 3 Democratic Club, and was elected twice as chair of the 13th Assembly District Democratic Committee.
David is committed to ensuring that the San Francisco Democratic Party continues to take positions that reflect our city’s shared progressive values. The only Chinese DCCC member representing the 13th Assembly District, David believes the DCCC can do a better job of reaching out and truly including all diverse communities in the fold of the local Democratic Party, including people of color, women, LGBT individuals, labor and religious communities.
