Ryan Dack

Proud to share that I'm running for the Democratic Party's Central Committee here in Orange County for Assembly District-73. I'm running with a great slate that's been endorsed by Katie Porter and would love to have your support if you are a registered Dem in Irvine, Costa Mesa, or Tustin.

While there are still more votes to count, I think I can confidently declare victory after tonight's updated vote count.

I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way, this has been an incredible journey. I could never do this alone.

I'm excited to start fighting for students and educators on the Board of Trustees as its newest member in the coming months. Stay tuned!

Win or lose tonight, this campaign has been such a warm and humbling experience. I've met so many great people and had so many fantastic conversations I never thought I would be involved in. All those hours of hard work, long phone calls, and door-knocking were for this moment.

Vote Centers are open until 8 PM today. Make sure to vote, and be sure to bring a friend too.

So proud to have shared my thoughts on Community College issues with the Voice of OC last week. These are questions all serious candidates for public office should be able to answer. I'm sorry to see that my opponent decided it wasn't worth his time.

GET OUT THE VOTE!! 🗳

Despite the stormy weather in San Clemente when visiting family yesterday, there's no better activity than voting early at one of many Ballot Drop Boxes in Orange County.

If you have a completed mail-in ballot, you can drop it off at any Ballot Drop Box in the county!

So happy that President Biden visited IVC today!

I will be on KUCI's Ask a Leader on Tuesday, October 18th. Be sure to tune in to 88.9 FM at 9 AM and hear my discussion with the great Claudia Shambaugh.

As a former Anteater (ZOT!), Irvine resident, and educator, I am thrilled to announce that Congresswoman Katie Porter has endorsed my campaign for College Board.

Public policy matters at all levels, and I look forward to bringing Katie's thoughtful style of public service to the College Board of Trustees in November.

I am proud to have local Irvine leaders like California State Senator Dave Min supporting my campaign for Community College Board. Before becoming a California State Senator, Dave Min was a professor at UCI, and as a fellow Anteater (Zot!), we both know the importance education plays in shaping our community.

With only seven weeks left until election day, we're closing out strong!

I'm proud to be endorsed by current Trustee Carolyn Inmon, and look forward to working with her and other members of the Community College Board of Trustees to fight for students, faculty and success in the classroom.

When it comes to ensuring classrooms are successful, there's no substitute for experience in education.

That's why I'm thrilled to have the endorsement of the South Orange County Community College District Faculty Association. Educators who work together are stronger together.

I recently spoke at the Orange County Young Democrats general endorsement meeting, and I am excited to have received their endorsement. We have an incredible slate of candidates running countywide, and cannot be more excited to see the impact our new and future leaders have on Orange County.

As one of the youngest candidates on the ballot in South Orange County, I look forward to fighting for students and educators on the South Orange County Community College Board of Trustees.

I am proud to once again have the endorsement of the Orange County Democratic Party in my run for College Board.

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of our campaign website. With 9 weeks until election day, every second and donation counts. Let's finish what our campaign started in 2020, and fight for students and educators. https://ryandack.com/

With California certifying their results, I wanted to share some great stats from our campaign for College Board. 168,917 Votes, No PAC Support or Money, and the best performance against an incumbent in over a decade (and that challenger, Carolyn Inmon, being elected this year).

I want to thank everyone who has sent encouraging words and messages to me and my campaign. We put up a good fight, and those actions aren't going unnoticed. I will continue to keep educators and students in my thoughts as we go through a dark winter of increasing COVID-19 cases together. Stay positive and Stay Safe.

I want to thank all my supporters for the kind words and well wishes during this election. I never imagined I'd be running for office, but it's clear that over 158K people thought I had a message worth listening to.

This has been such an enlightening and positive experience regardless of the outcome. I'm going to keep fighting for educators and students, but as an advocate instead of as an elected leader. Orange County voters are going to hear from me again.

Stay Safe

We're at Northwood Community Park in Irvine ready to answer any questions voters might have about my campaign before voting early here. My artistic director is also doing a landscape painting for anyone who wants to watch magic happen before their very eyes. Come on by, say hi and vote early!

It's really unfortunate that some people are trying to spread disinformation when it comes to ballot drop boxes. This is an official ballot dropbox, and you can find a list on http://ocvote.com

When we all vote, we all win.

Mail in voting has started! It's been a whirlwind of a campaign, and hard to believe the finish line is fast approaching. I'm not sure I would be where I am today without the support of the Democratic Party, and the fantastic people who have lent their support to my campaign for healthy students and educators. Lets win this!
