List of California Delegation Members

Here is the list of all 553 delegates, alternates, and committee members comprising the California delegation at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Sources are here, here and here.

I am providing this because it does not yet appear here. Inquiring minds might want to know.

First up, the undeclared superdelegates:
Rep. Susan Davis, San Diego
Rep. Sam Farr, Salinas
Rep. Bob Filner, Chula Vista
Rep. Mike Honda, Campbell
Rep. Jerry McNerney, Pleasanton
DNC Hon. Carole Migden, San Francisco
DNC Bob Mulholland, Chico
Rep. Nancy Pelosi, San Francisco
DNC Christine Pelosi, Washington DC (office)
DNC John Perez, Los Angeles
DNC Robert Rankin, Carson
DNC Art Torres, San Francisco
DNC Steve Ybarra, Sacramento

Nancy and Christine Pelosi have stated they will endorse the leader in pledged delegates, i.e., Obama.

"District-level" delegates and alternates are the ones who ran campaigns and were competitively elected to their seats (including me, for Obama!). The delegate types, "Unpledged PLEO" and "Unpledged Add-On," included in the table below are superdelegates who have now pledged themselves for either Obama or Clinton.

California Delegation Meeting in Sacramento

If you want to know how the California Delegation Meeting in Sacramento on May 18 went, check out this HuffPo piece by William Bradley. Just so you know, I was there. Steve Westly led us in a rousing cheer of "Yes, We Can," after all the 107 or so Obama delegates had gone around the room and introduced themselves and stated where they were from, as the Obama facilitator asked. They did that all right, but also discussed which district they represented, what cities the district covers, how they were involved in the Obama campaign, what other political efforts they were involved in, what posts they held in various official and non-official organizations, etc. Twice we were asked to keep it short. (I had spoken near the beginning, so I was under no such time pressure.) Any time you ask a group of activist Democrats to stand up and talk, you know it's not going to be short!
