DEMOCRATIC PARTY | East Bay Assembly members fortified their positions of power within the state Democratic Party over the weekend with the election of nearly every member of their respective slates of delegates for the party convention in May.

Seven men and seven women, according to party bylaws, were elected by Democrats in each assembly district on Saturday and Sunday. The roster of delegates, in many ways, will owe their allegiance to the assembly member who placed them on their election-winning slates.

Delegates elected last weekend are eligible to vote at the party’s convention scheduled for May 15-17 in Anaheim and in 2016. Below are the unofficial winners in each East Bay district:
