Active since the 1950s, the Pacific Palisades Democratic Club (PPDC) has opened and run presidential election HQs every four years that consistently became top performers for the Democratic Party. In 2020 the effort went virtual, as PPDC supported the Westside Democratic Headquarters (WDHQ) and the Grassroots Dems HQ, both now nationally influential and active year-round instead of every four years.

In 2016 the WDHQ was open on Montana Ave. in Santa Monica for three full months, and became the state’s #1 campaign center for both calling and texting in the presidential campaign. The HQ …

• was chosen as Rep. Ted Lieu’s reelection center …

• registered voters and held forums discussing all ballot props …

• opened the Westside’s biggest shop for political t-shirts and collectibles …

• featured four debate-watch parties, plus comedy nights with Paula Poundstone and Jimmy Tingle

• made hundreds of thousands of calls across CA and the US in support of progressive local and national candidates and causes. We were instrumental in helping turn Nevada blue and getting out the vote in CA. Tom Styer heard about our effectiveness and asked to come address the volunteers 

Our 2012 HQ was on the Third St. Promenade and did so well we got a thank-you visit from Obama Sr. Advisor Valerie Jarrett.
