The Alameda County Democratic Central Committee will see a record number of LGBTQ members serving on the oversight body for the local party this year. And despite falling short in the March election to be reelected as a committee member, former party vice chair Andy Kelley will continue to serve on it.
At its January 6 organizational meeting for 2021, where the winners of the primary ballot races for committee seats were sworn in, Kelley was elected to serve as the party s corresponding secretary. In the role, he is able to vote on placing endorsements of candidates onto the committee s consent calendar but not vote on affirming the endorsements.
