Ukiah, CA — The Redwood Empire Young Democrats (REYDems) executive board voted to incorporate its newest subchapter — Mendocino County Young Democrats. This subchapter shall represent the young people living in Mendocino County — the heart of the Redwood Empire with its majestic forests, rugged Lost Coast, vast agricultural lands, and charming towns.

REYDems President Brendan Sweeney said “I am proud of the Young Democrats of Mendocino County. Our community is organizing because young people need a voice in local politics, and local politics needs to include young peoples’ voices to make good policy.” Continuing, “Critical challenges to Mendocino County residents like affordable housing shortages, the climate crisis, and an aging population cannot be fixed without buy-in from young people.” 

Jesse Boyd, newly elected REYDems Vice President for Mendocino County, said “We are excited to establish the Mendocino County Subchapter to help organize Young Democrats in Mendocino County. I look forward to taking action in Mendocino County and to making more and more young people’s voices heard.” 

Creating a space for the Young Democrats to organize in Mendocino County is a critical step to building Young People Power. REYDems encourages any Democrats aged 13-35 living in Mendocino County to apply for membership with our club.

REYDems is a youth arm of the Democratic Party representing Young Democrats living in California’s Redwood Empire — Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, and Lake Counties.
