In addition, on local measures, the Sonoma County Democratic Party was the only organized opposition to Measure D, which did not even have an opposing statement filed for the county voter's pamphlet. The local party relied on old-fashioned "grassroots" organizing to defeat the measure and it went down by a margin of 47% to 53%.
