NOTE FOR THOSE IN THE PARADE:  The Pacific Palisades July 4 Americanism Parade is a celebration where all in the community come together to celebrate July 4 and the founding of our great nation.   It’s a community, non-political, non-partisan event, where the community celebrates each other, our country and the holiday.   The PPDC participates as part of the community.  Rather than a protest march, this is a day of celebration.  So issue or protest signs or T-shirts are not appropriate.  This  is a time when Dems can come together, have some fun, and celebrate the democracy that we were so lucky to inherit, and we will always fight to protect.

Meet the Candidate

The 4th in our “Meet the Candidate” Series will feature Presidential Candidate, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee.  Gov. Inslee will come to the Palisades to meet the community and answer your questions.  The “Meet the Candidate” events are designed to provide you the opportunity to meet the Democratic Presidential candidates in person.  We believe there is a qualitative difference between meeting a candidate in person and getting an impression on television.

When: Monday, July 22.  Doors Open at 4:30 pm.  Program begins at 5:00 pm.

Inslee served 7 terms in the US Congress, before being elected Governor of Washington in 2012.  Inslee has long supported policies that would reverse climate change and create a strong, green economy.  This will be his top priority if elected President.   Inslee believes Washington State shows the economic power of progressive action.  During Inslee’s tenure as Governor, Washington state has become first in job, wage, and GDP growth.  It is the only state to rank as both the best place to work, and the best place to do business.  As Governor, he has signed laws that (1) invest in public education, (2) significantly increased the state minimum wage, (3) provide sick leave for all workers, (4) provide 12 weeks of family leave for new parents, (5) invest in green infrastructure and jobs; (6) change the protocols for use of deadly force by the police,  (7) implement a buy-back program from bum-stocks, (8) implement a suite of clean energy laws,  and (9) improve mental health care, among other things.  In the US House of Representatives, Inslee voted for the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994 and against the war in Iraq in 2002.
