Ferial Masry Says NO on Proposition 23
Republican opponent Jeff Gorell’s support of Prop. 23
swayed by donations from oil companies
Ferial Masry, the Democratic nominee for California’s 37th Assembly District, affirmed her opposition to oil company-backed Proposition 23, which would repeal California’s world-renowned global warming legislation.

“Proposition 23 is a measure on the November ballot that would harm California’s environment, economy and exploding green jobs sector,” Masry said.

Masry's positions sharply contrast with those of her Republican opponent Jeff Gorell, who supports Proposition 23, a measure aimed at eliminating California laws that protect our coastlines, air and water from the same special interests who donate to his campaign. Proposition 23’s main funding comes from the same oil companies that are funding Gorell’s campaign and for whom he has worked as a lobbyist in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. Gorell has received more than $16,000 from the oil industry. He even proudly claimed that British Petroleum, the international oil giant responsible for the worst oil spill in U.S. history, “endorsed his ideas.”

Democratic Campaign Council of Ventura County Receives Charter
A new organization was chartered this week by the Ventura County Democratic Central Committee entitled the Democratic Campaign Council of Ventura County (aka Campaign Council.)

"The Campaign Council is designed to help locate, motivate and activate Progressive Democratic Activists throughout Ventura County to work on the various efforts to elect Democrats to public office and support issues of importance, " stated Campaign Council Chairman Brian Leshon. "Our efforts will support the work of the Ventura County Democratic Party by providing volunteers and infrastructure. Currently we're working on the setup of the party's new office, phone bank and campaign efforts. The Campaign Council is planning programs on volunteer and leadership training. Service clubs and organizations of this nature are common in county parties in Southern California. We needed one of our own to help marshal the large number of volunteers wishing to participate in countywide Democratic efforts."
