Remembering Rebecca "Becca" Taylor
We are devastated and heartbroken to learn that our friend and San Diego County Democratic Party Chair Rebecca “Becca” Taylor has tragically passed away.
A Veteran of the United States Navy, throughout her life, Chair Becca Taylor stood up and organized tirelessly to support numerous civil rights and social justice initiatives. Her passion for equity and fairness drove her to be a vocal and active participant in the fight for the rights of all individuals, regardless of their background. Becca was a beacon of hope and a source of inspiration for those who sought to make a positive change in the world.
In addition to her advocacy work, Becca played a pivotal role in San Diego’s political landscape. She was instrumental in guiding our Democratic clubs to organize, strategize, and ultimately elect numerous candidates who shared her vision of a more just and equitable society. Her strategic acumen, coupled with her ability to bring people together, made her an invaluable leader and trailblazer. Becca’s positive spirit was a light in an often-turbulent landscape.
Becca was a friend to all and to all a friend.
Our condolences go out to her immediate family and friends. We all share in our collective grief during this time.

Kamala Harris for President
President Biden: "I am endorsing Kamala Harris to be our next President of the United States"
"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.
For my part: my very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made.
Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump."
So much has changed this past month and we are excited to learn that Vice President Kamala Harris is running for President of the United States. Thank you, President Joe Biden, for your many years of public service and dedication to our country. We need all the help we can get to fight Donald Trump this November. Sign up to volunteer and learn how you can help save Democracy here.
