Progressive Democrats of the East Bay invites all who have worked with us during the past election year to an informal, no host, celebration at the Albatross Pub on Saturday, December 16 from 4:30pm to 6:00pm.
We are quite pleased with the results of the general election, and although all candidates and measures we supported did not win, we made a strong showing and have laid the groundwork for future success.
Please join us for a toast to current and future successes at one of our favorite venues:
