INDIVIDUAL DONOR PLAN

Expand CDP fundraising base with aggressive Individual Donor Program. The CDP currently raises less than 8% of revenues from individual donors, yet California Democrats donate millions for political aims. The CDP needs to make the case to its voters as potential donors.

Tie fundraising to specific goals: 58 County Plan, help Democratic office holders fight back against Republican dirty tricks, support Democrats running to unseat Republicans, support Democrats running for non-partisan office. Fill the pipeline.

Form a training/collaborative network for DCC and Dem Club treasures to manage ramped up local fundraising.

Congressman Bob Filner Endorses Hilary Crosby for CDP Controller

Dear CA Democratic Delegates,

I am endorsing Hilary Crosby for CA Democratic Party Controller because we, as a state party, especially during these trying times, have a great opportunity to put a real professional and grass roots activist at the helm of our financial organization.

She has a great resume as a CPA with a California based accounting firm that specializes in non-profits for the last 13 years. Her website says she works exclusively with non profit organizations and with their boards, finance staffs, and finance committees. Most organizations are active in environmental justice, labor, faith, the arts, and community organizing. How fortunate to have Hilary, who takes a financial leadership role every day with her clients, willing to do that for our State Party!

She’s also a lifetime, dedicated, Democratic activist with sensational ideas about fundraising, accountability, responsiveness and truly fueling our 58 county strategy. This includes creating a network of mentors amongst county and club treasurers.

Vote Hilary Crosby, a Certified Public Accountant and a Grass Roots Activist, for California Democratic Party Controller.

Take it from me,

Congressman Bob Filner, CA 51
Chairman, Veterans’Affairs Committee
