[DAA] – The Santa Clarita Valley is a known to be a Republican stronghold. On Saturday, Santa Clarita’s Democratic Alliance for Action will recognize individuals who are leading the fight to turn the SCV from red to blue.

The DAA’s first-ever awards luncheon will take place at the Valencia Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, 27710 The Old Road. The honorees are four distinguished Democrats from the Santa Clarita Valley:

Carole Lutness – DAA Lifetime Activist Award

Jim Soliz – 2015 Santa Clarita Democrat

Charles Vignola – 2015 Democratic Vox Populi

Julie Olsen – DAA Rising Star

Presenting the awards will be Eric Bauman, chair of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party.

Steve Hill will host the event with his unique comic perspective as an ex-Marine, former California State Correctional Officer and small business owner.

 

daalogoAbout the DAA

The Democratic Alliance for Action was founded in 1994 and chartered by the Los Angeles County Democratic Party DAA is the only Democratic Club in the Santa Clarita Valley. Together, DAA members share goals and purposes consistent with the Democratic Party platform. Our monthly meetings provide a place for Democrats to meet, make friends, and gain information on issues of local, national, and international importance.

Because “action” is such an important tradition in the club, we consider voter registration a priority, opening a headquarters an imperative, and feeding the homeless and other charitable works an essential opportunity to serve the community.

    Why are you trying to change the area? Don’t like it? Leave and go live in Democract stronghold. Who asked you or forced you live here? If I made a choice to live somewhere is because I think highly of the area that I am moving to and grateful to the people that run such an orderly town. I definitely want them to stay in power and keep this greatness going.

  2. Greg Brown says:

    Good luck Julie Olsen!

  3. Thank you for being so inviting. Your rudeness has convinced me that this area needs an upgrade and now I plan to work for those who will do that. Thanks for the push.

  4. Really? I came to santa clarita because i didnt want to live in panorama city aka a blue sector! Look at SCV and look at Panorama!

  5. Rosemarie Sanchez-Fraser says:

    I’ve attended Council Meetings along with many other Democrats, these honorees included, who have urged and in many cases pushed our City Council to do many of the things we now enjoy and to keep it from becoming, as you say, another Panorama City! If the Council had their way, we would have the “Electronic Billboards, a Recycling Center on Sierra Hwy, mining at CEMEX. There are many more issues we have fought against to keep our Valley from Polluters and from big Corporations that would indeed destroy the quality of life as you now enjoy it! Come to those meetings and learn for yourself who are the protectors of Santa Clarita!
    Congratulations to all you hard working Honorees, keep up the hard work!

  6. Lisa Lehman says:

    Really, I go to the panorama city for my kaiser appointments and I would never want to live there. I don’t know why you came here to live. Please explain. You came from one blue sector to another? Panorama city is NOT blue sector. Why not move to red sector where you like? Why here?

  7. Julie Olsen says:

    This is going to be such a wonderful event. Our club has worked so hard and we are thrilled that it’s a sold-out event with a wait list!
