ADEM, or Assembly District Election Meetings, are bi-annual intra-party elections where California Democrats who reside in a given Assembly District can gather to choose 14 delegates to the annual state convention, and one executive board representative who attends state party meetings between conventions. 

Delegates are split equally between self-identified females and other than self-identified females.

Delegates to the state Democratic Party can change the direction of the party through passing resolutions, electing party leadership, and choosing whom the party endorses. 

By choosing progressives to represent your district, you are empowering them to move the party left on critical issues, such as healthcare, climate action, criminal justice reform, and more.
