July 6 Meeting to Feature SD Dem Party GO Team Director

Pete Babich has always been a reliable Democratic voter, but the election of George W. Bush and the invasion of Iraq motivated him to become more involved with politics. He joined the North-Central Democratic Club and served as Membership Chair. In 2005, he was the prime mover to form the Poway Democratic Club, and has been the club president or a member of the board every year since then. Pete walked his first precinct in 2002 and has walked multiple precincts in every election since. He’s been the Poway GO Team Community Coordinator since 2005 and recently accepted the roles of North-Inland Region Community and Data Coordinator. In the 2022 elections, he had a key role in the County Party’s effort to train more data coordinators so that GO Team members have timely and accurate materials to help get out the vote. A seven-year Navy veteran who served in submarines, Pete has a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering. He worked at Hewlett-Packard for seventeen years, starting as a product designer and ended as a senior manager for HP’s worldwide, color, inkjet printer business. He then ran his own business for twenty-three years developing and selling business planning software to small and mid-size organizations.

LGBTQ Pride Month: What is at stake in the November 2024 General Election?

This talk will provide both a history of LGBTQ electoral successes in San Diego County and the upcoming ballot measure to officially repeal California’s Prop 8 that was ruled unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court.

Ryan Trabuco (he/him/his) is the Club President of San Diego Democrats for Equality. He was publicly elected in 2020 and re-elected in 2024 as a member of the San Diego County Democratic Central Committee.

During the day, he works as Executive Assistant to Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre. He previously worked for the Chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, the President pro Tempore of the California State Senate, and for an Orange County Supervisor. While working for the County of San Diego, he was Vice Chair of the County’s LGBTQ&A Employee Resource Group. In 2022, he was appointed by San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria to serve on the City's Human Relations Commission. He is a licensed Notary Public, and a graduate of the Young Professionals Council Academy at the San Diego LGBT Community Center. Oh, and he LOVES movies!
