Committee Appointments
CYD Regional Directors have an opportunity to appoint Young Democrats from their region onto several statewide committees that influence the policy, political, and legislative decisions made by the organization. Submit your information below to be considered for appointment by your Regional Director!
Judicial Committee
The CYD Judicial Committee receives and considers formal complaints regarding violations of CYD’s Code of Conduct, investigates, and provides both rulings and recommendations to the CYD Executive Board.
Platform Committee
The CYD Platform Committee convenes in odd-numbered years to draft CYD’s policy platform - one that reflects the core values of CYD, that addresses issues from the perspective of young voters, and is distinct from the platforms of the California Democratic Party and the Young Democrats of America.

Political Affairs Committee
The CYD Political Affairs Committee makes recommendations to the State Leadership Committee regarding endorsements on statewide ballot measures, recall elections, and any items not acted upon by a Regional Leadership Committee - and advises on appropriate actions in support of candidates endorsed by CYD.
Policy and Legislation Committee
The CYD Policy and Legislation Committee reviews all proposed CYD resolutions and makes recommendations to the State Leadership Committee - and takes positions on legislation at both a state and federal level. The committee is also empowered to take appropriate action in support of legislation endorsed by CYD or that is in keeping with CYD’s platform.
