<\/a>CDP Executive Director was critical to 2012 success<\/i><\/p>\n

Positive posts about Democrats are relatively few and far between at CalWatchDog. However, this two-part<\/a> series about “CDP mega weapon” Shawnda Westly<\/a> is spot on:<\/p>\n

But Burton, a media favorite due to his expletive-laden antics, couldn’t have done it without his right-hand woman, the party’s executive director, Shawnda Westly (pictured on the right of the above photo).<\/p>\n

“She is the engine to the operation,” said Rep. Julia Brownley, D-Oak Park, one of six congressional freshmen honored at the convention’s Saturday “Red to Blue” luncheon. “The party this year played a much larger role in congressional races than they have ever played before.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read both parts of the story. In fact, read them twice. I’ve been fortunate enough to know Shawnda for a few years now, and, if anything, the article is a bit of an understatement. She has worked with Chairman Burton to execute a vision that has brought the party incredible success. And she’s dealt with the craziness that is inherent in a big political party with a smile. The kudos are very well deserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
