Riverside, CA – The Riverside County Democratic Party is proud to endorse Elizabeth Tucker for Riverside County Superior Court Judge. Tucker brings a wealth of legal experience and an unwavering commitment to serving the community with fairness and integrity.
Tucker has earned endorsements from over 60 judges and commissioners, including the presiding and assistant presiding judges of Riverside County. She is supported by local law enforcement, community leaders, and legal organizations—a testament to her reputation for judicial competence and sound judgment.
Currently serving as a Riverside County Superior Court Commissioner, Tucker presides over a broad range of cases, including criminal, civil, juvenile justice, dependency, traffic, and probate matters. Her extensive experience on the bench makes her exceptionally well-qualified to serve as a Superior Court Judge.
Before becoming a Commissioner, Tucker spent 23 years as a Riverside County Deputy District Attorney. As a trial attorney, she successfully prosecuted serious and violent felonies, including cases of child abuse and domestic violence, highlighting her strong commitment to justice and public safety.
Tucker’s dedication extends beyond the courtroom. She has been an active member of the Indio Rotary Club for 12 years and has volunteered with the Riverside County Mock Trial competition since 1996, mentoring high school students who have gone on to become practicing attorneys. Tucker has also led a Girl Scout troop and volunteered with numerous local non-profits, demonstrating her deep connection to the community.
A long-time resident of Riverside County and a devoted mother, Tucker understands the importance of creating a safe, just community for future generations. Her blend of personal and professional experience makes her a compassionate and effective leader for the Superior Court.
The Riverside County Democratic Party is confident that Elizabeth Tucker is the right choice for Riverside County Superior Court Judge, and we urge voters to support her in November.

WHEREAS science is essential to the survival of the human race, and is a human endeavor that benefits from our curiosity, creativity, and perseverance, and can unleash human potential, transform lives, and provide the tools to grapple with today’s pressing issues such as climate change, pandemics, resource depletion, life expectancy, and more; and
WHEREAS acceptance of, and reliance on, science as the arbiter of truth and reality has been decreasing due to lies, fabrications, false information and the rise of religious fundamentalism on social media and elsewhere; and
WHEREAS March 26 has been officially designated as National Science Appreciation Day by 22 states in recognition of the importance of science to human survival and to promote science education and the understanding of basic scientific principles ranging from evolution as the basis for all biological science to the laws of physics that explain how the universe works and came into being;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Riverside County Democratic Party supports California officially recognizing March 26 as National Science Appreciation Day; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that schools, civic organizations, and local municipalities be encouraged to host special events on National Science Appreciation Day that honor scientists in their communities and that inspire students to pursue academic programs and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The Riverside County Democratic Party endorses Democrat Christy Holstege for Assembly District 47.
Holstege’s record of public service is marked by her unwavering commitment to the people of this district. As a City Council member and former Mayor of Palm Springs, Holstege has been a steadfast advocate for affordable housing, addressing the opioid epidemic, and the protection of reproductive rights. Her approach is rooted in the values of transparency, equity, and community-driven leadership. Holstege has always been upfront with her constituents, consistently working to bridge divides and find solutions that benefit all residents, not just the wealthy and well-connected.
In stark contrast, Republican Greg Wallis has shown time and again that his priorities lie not with the hardworking people of our district, but with the powerful interests that fund his campaign. His record betrays the needs of our community while prioritizing corporate profits and ideological crusades. He received a rating of F from the Sierra Club and Environmental Voters, but a top rating from the NRA. And he has endorsed the radical conservative Sheriff Chad Bianco for Governor of California.
Christy Holstege understands the struggles of everyday Californians and is committed to making our community a better place for all, not just a select few.
The stakes are clear: we can either continue down a path where corporate interests dictate our laws, or we can choose a representative who will put the people first. That representative is Christy Holstege.
