My name is Tomas Vera. I am running to be an Assembly District Election Meeting (ADEM) delegate to the Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC).
In the beginning
I am orginially from Santa Rosa, California. I grew up in Mendocino and Sonoma counties where my immigrant parents worked to provide me and my siblings with a life they could only dream of in their native Mexico.
I graduated from Sonoma State University in 1984 with a B.S. in Physics. I then served as a Surface Warfare Officer in the US Navy. I have worked over 20 years in the IT industry (my current job).
My life as a Democrat
I have been active with the Democratic Party since 2008 when Barack Obama was running for President. I could not sit idly by as he was running to make history.
Since then, I have volunteered for the Democrats in a variety of roles.
- I have previously been an Assembly District Election Meeting (ADEM) delegate.
- I have had the privilege of serving as the Chair of the Placer County Democratic Central Committee.
- In 2024 I was a delegate to the DNC national convention in Chicago, Illinois.
My goals for this term
I believe that our party needs to push to bring about changes that will benefit the working people of our state and nation.
- We need to work towards making universal healthcare a reality
- We need to put in place reasonable limits to the number of guns we have in our country
- We need to bring about modern policies toward immigration
- We need to make housing available and affordable for all
- We need to acknowledge the rights of ALL people who choose to make our state and our nation their home
Tomas in Action
At election time, my favorite activity is canvassing neighborhoods and speaking directly with voters about the many wonderful Democratic candidates who’ve run to represent me in my district.
