County Democrats Getting Fired Up
The new San Mateo County Democratic Party Headquarters, located in nearby Belmont, is gearing up for phone banking, community organizing and watching how the Republicans do this week in Tampa.
At one point it was a Goodwill thrift store, then last fall it served as the Halloween Super Store. Now the building at 650 El Camino Real in Belmont is "ground zero" for Democrats in San Mateo County.
With both parties' national conventions taking place over the next two weeks, the campaign season is in full swing and the local Democratic headquarters will be buzzing with activity.
