EDC is the subject of a feature story in the North County Times (Monday, April 12, 2010), resulting from the Club of the Year award by the San Diego County Democratic Party. Here’s the beginning of reporter David Garrick’s story:

The group, which has grown to 100 active members and has 400 people on its mailing list, helped get Olga Diaz elected to the previously all-Republican City Council in 2008 and has begun attracting prominent speakers of all ideologies to its monthly meetings.
