Repeat! LACYD Wins Annual Softball Game Against SFVYD
On July 11, LACYD defeated the San Fernando Valley Young Democrats in the annual softball game between the two clubs. The game, played on a cool Sunday morning at La Cienega Park in Beverly Hills, was the fifth annual game between the two largest young Democratic clubs in Southern California.
For the second year in a row, LACYD edged out the visiting Valley young Dems. Former LACYD President Becca Doten was the hero, driving in Aaron Trask with a one-out, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the eighth inning to give LACYD a 10-9 extra-inning victory.
The groups were joined at the game by Los Angeles County Democratic Party Chair Eric Bauman, Assemblymember Mike Feuer, West Hollywood Councilmember Lindsey Horvath and Los Angeles Unified School District Board Member Tamar Galatzan.

LACYD Board Members Advise Moroccan Official on Young Voter Outreach
On July 8, members of the Los Angeles County Young Democrats Executive Board met with Mr. Hassan Aghmari, Governor and Director of Elections for the Ministry of Interior in Rabat, Morocco to advise him on young voter outreach.
Mr. Aghmari, who was in Los Angeles as part of a State Department trip, wanted to ask LACYD Board Members, as politically active young professionals, about tactics that we have found to be successful in increasing youth participation in the electoral process. This is especially important information for Mr. Aghmari to bring back to Morocco, where more than half of the population is under the age of 35. The meeting was hosted by the International Visitors Council of Los Angeles.
