Standing for AD 8
In 2019 Ric Barreto stood from AD 8 for the California Democratic Party Central Committee.
Hi everyone. My name is Ric Barreto & I’m an advocate & activist for not only my union members of the American Postal Workers Union vs management, but also as a Progressive fighting to reform our party as well as in society at large.
As a current delegate, I bring to the table a background that includes fighting on winning campaigns for Overtime for Farmworkers, the Fight For $15 Campaign, and stopping a Republican and industry-backed legislation for restricting, in effect, Asbestos lawsuits to name a few.
My positions include Medicare 4 All, Rent Control, Marshall Plan to address Homelessness, Stopping/Reforming NAFTA 2.0, Universal Childcare & Preschool, Green New Deal, Social Justice and Police Reforms. I am anti- Death Penalty & anti-War. Pro LGBT rights and pro-Statehood for Puerto Rico and DC!
As an out Gay man, who has lost housing and jobs, to include fighting for my military career and losing during DADT, as well as being homeless several times in my life, including as a child, this has added to a fighting spirit and being an advocate for my fellow sisters and brothers. Yes, I do give a damn and am fearless! A vote for me is a vote for progress. Thank you.[1]
