Protect California Bernie Delegates

Bernie Sanders won the California Democratic presidential primary over Joe Biden by nearly half a million votes — but California’s top Democrats might strip him of the delegates he earned. Duane, California Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks need to know that we will not tolerate them stripping 84 elected Bernie delegate positions and turning them over to Joe Biden. TAKE ACTION: Sign our petition demanding that Bernie Sanders gets to keep the delegates he earned in California before we deliver it to Governor Newsom and Rusty Hicks tomorrow. ADD YOUR NAME Hicks is considering relying on an obscure party rule that says district delegates are allotted based on the presidential primary result (even if the candidate is no longer running), but NOT statewide delegates, which can only be allotted to a candidate who is still running. Bernie made it clear when he announced that he was suspending (not ending) his campaign that he was still accumulating delegates, including in states with upcoming primaries. The buck stops with Governor Newsom. He and the California Democratic Party must make it clear now that the process of filling Bernie’s delegate slots in California will go forward. Please sign our petition (and indicate your zip code) demanding that Governor Newsom and Rusty Hicks do the right thing before we deliver it to them tomorrow. ADD YOUR NAME Democracy inside the Democratic Party is just as important as democracy outside. Thank you for taking action, Congressman Ro Khanna
