Comite Central del Condado, Distrito 75 — Partido Republicano del Condado de San Diego

Born in Escondido, California. Graduated from Valley Center High School in 2003. Graduated from University of California at San Diego in 2006. Served in the United States Air Force from 2007 to 2013. Worked for the California State Senate and California State Assembly. Worked on several local races in San Diego County. I have visited over 15,000 homes in my career and made over 30,000 phone calls. I am a grassroots conservative political director.

I believe in limited government. I am an opponent of paternalist government and statist bureaucratic culture.

I am an LA transplant, came to San Diego 38 years ago. I married a man with 1 boy and then had more 2 sons.  I had a Family Day Care for 10 years while my boys were young so I could be home with them and still have some income.  When they were in school most of the day I went back to work.  My marriage was failing, husband was an alcoholic.  I became a single Mom, working 2 jobs 50+ hrs a week.  Time management was my specialty.  I enjoyed my 2 jobs being back in a Dentist office using my training.  I had become very good at Cake decorating, and was hired by Lucky's Market in the Bakery. I was transferred to another store where Bakery/Deli was together. I loved the creativity of working with the food whether it was cakes, or deli platters.  I excelled at both jobs, becoming the Office manager in the dentist office and promoted to checker at the market.  I became an expert on Dental Insurance, loved the challenge of getting approval for my patients treatment plans. I met my current husband, Bob, in a Christian Singles group. We married in 1999.  I left the market and retired from dentistry when my older brother's health brought him to live with us.  Bob and I bought some dirt and began to build a house 17 years ago, and it's true a house is never finished. 

I am a Conservative.  I was young and dumb and influenced by the late 60's, but when I matured, grew up and began to see how things really are in this world, I changed to being very conservative.  I want less government, I want the freedom and liberty that is guaranteed in our Constitution.  I have been working on campaigns for at least the last 20 years.  I listen to talk radio, read books to educate myself, attend political events.  Do what I can to inform the people around me.  Bob and I were part of a group of people that founded North County Conservatives, and we are still the driving force in that group.  We spend our Friday nights at Cruisin Grand in our booth, gathering signatures for petitions, we hand out information and have books to educate available.  We are called to be Salt and Light in this world to do what we can to make a difference in our community and this world.  We try to encourage more people to get out of the stands and into the game, Being part of Central Committee has given me another opportunity to know what going on in the Republican Party and to represent the people of my district. to sum it up the Bigger the government the smaller the citizen.  I want more Calvin Coolidges and less Woodrow Wilsons.

Delores is running for Republican Central Committee 75th District to provide what what has been lacking in our district.  Communication to the consituents of the 75th AD, a voice on behalf of her district at county meetings, and to represent the issues of importance to her district; not her personal agenda.  

Delores has co-chaired the Hispanic Outreach initiatives for several San Diego Cunty and statewide political campaigns.  She has also produced the translation of a booklet that compares and contrasts the two main political parties in America.  In addition to this, she also wrote and published a comprehensive guide for political insiders, politicians and grassroots conservatives to address the proflems faced in earning the Hispanic vote.  Delores has raised thousands of dollars to establish the first Spanish language conservative talk radio show in Southern California.

Elect a proven leader, a representative to continue to build the Republican Party in San Diego County. Elect Delores Chavez Harmes to the Republican Party of San Diego County Central Committee -75^th District.
