Democrats to Hold State Convention Jan. 16-18
- Share via
California Democrats plan to hold their 2004 annual state party convention at San Jose’s McEnery Convention Center.
The January convention “will kick off the California presidential race to put a Democrat back in the White House to bring back a strong economy, led by the high-tech industry,” party Chairman Art Torres said Tuesday.
It is unlikely that any of the candidates will attend because the convention is scheduled for Jan. 16-18, just before the Iowa presidential caucuses.
The March 2 California presidential primary will be held six weeks after the convention.
Nine Democrats are seeking the party nomination to challenge President Bush next November.
