Come to listen to our keynote speaker Darcel Elliott, who was born and raised in Santa Maria. Darcel looks forward to helping communities organize for the extremely important elections in 2012. She is especially excited to be able to use those organizing skills in her hometown. Darcel will be presenting on the community organizing skills she has learned from previous campaigns and how they can be applied in Santa Maria. After graduating from Santa Maria High School in 2004, she went to UC Santa Barbara. She earned a Bachelors Degree in History and Sociology with a minor in education in 2008. During the summer of 2008, Darcel began interning on former Assemblymember Hannah-Beth Jackson's first State Senate campaign, which was lost by 857 votes. For the 2009 election year, she interned on Helene Schneider's campaign for Mayor of Santa Barbara, which was successfully won. In January of 2010, Darcel began working as a campaign organizer on then Santa Barbara City Council member Das Williams' campaign for the State Assembly. After eleven long months of campaign, Das was elected to the Assembly and Darcel began working as a field representative in the Santa Barbara District Office, where she currently works. Still extremely passionate about getting strong progressive candidates elected, Darcel took a two month leave of absence for the State Assembly office in 2011 to serve as the organizing director for the Democratic Party of Santa Barbara County's Santa Barbara City Council campaign for Iya Falcone, Deborah Schwartz and, now, Council member-elect Cathy Murillo.
