Event Overview
“Your vote is only as secure as the person counting it.”
Ventura County Clerk and Recorder **Michelle Ascencion** is on the ballot in the June 2nd Primary Election. She faces an opponent spreading dangerous misinformation about voter fraud.
With nearly 20 years of public service, Michelle made history as the first woman and person of color to hold this office in 150 years. More importantly, she has worked to ensure that every election in Ventura County is secure, accurate, and transparent.
Join the OV Democratic Club for an evening with Michelle. Learn what’s at stake in the June 2nd Primary, how misinformation about voting is being addressed, and how you can support efforts to protect fair and secure elections.
