The 241 district-level delegates (134 Clinton delegates, 107 Obama) elected at the April 13th delegate caucuses voted to confirm the rest of the California Delegation, comprised of: 48 PLEOs (Pledged Party Leaders & Elective Officers) [Clinton 26 / Obama 22] and 81 Statewide At-Large [Clinton 44 / Obama 37], for a total of 134 additional Voting Delegates [Clinton 70 / Obama 59 plus five add-on Superdelegates, selected by the Chairman Art Torres]
The Clinton and Obama campaign received 1,922 applicants for the remaining PLEO and At-Large positions, and each campaign weighed the California Democratic Party’s affirmative action goals, geographical representation, and other considerations as they created their PLEO and At-Large Delegations. More than 2,800 Democrats had previously applied to run for district-level delegate, so in total almost 5,000 California Democrats sought a place in the delegation this year.
“This campaign season we’ve had the best cooperation I’ve ever seen between presidential campaigns during the delegate selection process,” said Sen. Art Torres (Ret.), Chairman of the California Democratic Party. “I’m so proud of the campaigns and local California Democrats for helping to once again produce the most diverse delegation in the nation.”
"As difficult as these choices are, this process was made easier by the cooperation between both campaigns and the party. There is no question that California democrats will go into the fall strong and unified," John Emerson, a Clinton Campaign Official, said on behalf of the campaign.
"Our campaigns and the party united to ensure the delegation represents the rich diversity of California and that Democrats from all communities across the state will have a voice in Denver," said Shannon Gilson, spokeswoman for the Obama campaign.
The California Delegation to the Denver Convention is now complete, with 370 Pledged Delegates (Clinton 204, Obama 166) and 71 Superdelegates. A breakdown of the delegation with respect to the CDP’s Affirmative Action goals is as follows:
| Goals | 2004 | 2008 | |
| Under 30 | 10% | 8.6% | 11.1% |
| Latino | 26% | 25.6% | 25.9% |
| African-American | 16% | 15.4% | 17.5% |
| Asian Pacific Islander | 9% | 8.6% | 8.6% |
| Native American | 1% | 2.3% | 2.5% |
| Disabled | 10% | 6.1% | 8.2% |
| LGBT | 12% | 8.2% | 11.8% |
