Why register as a Democrat? Senator Art Torres
If you believe in good jobs, a balanced budget, choice, a clean environment, quality education, more cops on our streets and keeping guns out of the hands of criminals - join us as Democrats to unite people in California. We are pro-family and pro-children. We fight for a quality education and safe schools for our children. We'll continue to fight to raise the minimum wage, protect Social Security and provide quality and affordable health care for all people.

-Senator Art Torres, (Ret.)
