Pintado Named Club President

The Monument Democratic Club has announced that Monument-resident David Pintado will be the President of the Club, which was formed in 2014, and has grown in membership to more than 800 members.

Pintado, who lives with his wife and two children in The Monument, held numerous health care positions in his native Mexico before coming to the United States. He served as a Certified Medical Assistant in Berkeley for 10 years, before teaching in several East Bay Medical Assistant programs. He moved to Concord in 2007. He is currently a teacher in the Science Department at Mt. Diablo High School, where he also coaches the girls’ tennis team.

David has been a member of the Monument Democratic Club for several years. He has a passion to help the Club in its efforts to increase the civic engagement of Monument residents, so that residents better understand how the City of Concord works, and what City services are in place to maintain and improve The Monument.

The Monument Club has been primarily e-mail based, with informational e-mails being sent to Club members on a regular basis. Among the Club goals are to register voters, get out the vote, and promote Democratic Party goals within the Monument Community. These goals involve affordable housing, excellence in public education, affordable health care, jobs and a living wage, equal rights and opportunities, essential city services, and the preservation of Social Security, Medi-Cal and Medicare, and other basic government benefits.

The Club is also announcing that long-time Monument resident Betty Gabaldon will serve as the Vice President, while George Fulmore, the founder of the Club, will serve as Club Secretary and Membership Chair.
