LACDP Chair's Statement Following Vice Presidential Debate

LOS ANGELES COUNTY --

Los Angeles County Democratic Party (LACDP) Chair Mark Ramos' statement following the Vice Presidential debate:

"Tim Walz spoke for the American people. He spoke as a father, a teacher, a union-member, a governor, and an American.

JD Vance did what he always does, just say anything at all. He didn't stand by his values or lay out concrete plans. When he was fact checked he complained.

Governor Walz has shown us that character values matter.

Let's vote for the ticket that has our best interest in mind. Let's all make our voting plans, check our registration status and find our local voting sites.

Let's cast our ballots for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz."

LACDP Chair's Statement Following Presidential Debate

Los Angeles County Democratic Party (LACDP) Chair Mark Ramos' statement following the Presidential debate:

“Donald Trump has no plan for you...

We need to elect public servants who do. Kamala Harris spoke proudly tonight on the issues and actions she would take on as President of the United States of America. We all heard loud and clear that Donald Trump would rather spread lies and misinformation than talk about the American people. The only plan Trump has is Project 2025.

Kamala has plans to protect and support Americans. Now, it’s time to make your plan to support Vice President Harris.
Register to vote and get ready to vote on election day.

Because we’re not going back!"
