On Saturday, January 12, more than 50 Democrats from all over the state converged on for a California Democratic Party Skills Academy. 

CDP Political Director Crystal Strait led the instruction,  assisted by CDP Deputy Political Director, Martha Gamez. Democrats came from as far away as Riverside, Davis, and Hollister to learn the techniques to needed succeed in 2008.

Several members of the California State Democratic Party Latino Caucus were also in attendance as well as members of The Desert Democrats from Ridgecrest, Tehachapi Mountain Democrats and The Democratic Women of Kern. The Skills Academy was an all day event and lunch was provided by The Kern County Democratic Party.
