editI believe he just stepped down from the position of chairman recently...--Rockero420 23:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
The California Democratic Party's website still shows him as chairman, as well as Google searches--maybe they're outdated? --Butros 06:10, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
I got an email from the CDP not too long ago (less than two weeks ago) that was signed by Art Torres "former CDP Chairman". But I reall don't know--haven't read it in the papers or anything. We can leave it as it is for now.--Rockero420 06:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
OK, I'll be on the lookout for any relevant info. --Butros 07:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Remark re Proposition 187
editIn the article's section headed "Political activity and public service," it is said that Torres's remark about Proposition 187 was made in January 1995, months after the proposition's passage. A report in support of that chronology is at http://www.vdare.com/articles/ccirs-greatest-hits-the-reconquista-rant-audio-clips
In the audio -- which may be heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubKgq5nv3o8 -- Torres seems to be saying that 187 is "on the ballot." This, obviously, suggests that the statement was made before the proposition's passage. Maybe there's a simple explanation of this apparent inconsistency, which I'm merely noting.108.52.83.38 (talk) 18:57, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

| This biography is terrible. What is the Anti-American garbage inserted in here? It is totally libelous and ridiculous. I was using this for reference for a news story and then found the right wing diatbre in here and now wonder about the Wikipedia. Terrible! |

Source for his term as chairman of the California Democratic Party (CaDem)?
editI found this constracting source: [1]. It states that Bob Mulholland was CaDem chair since 1994. Muholland is also labelled as CaDem chair in this 1999 video: [2]. While Muholland clearly isn't chair now, we need to make sure we have a source for Torres' term as CaDem chairman. Emass100 (talk) 05:50, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
- Found it [3], no more issue. Emass100 (talk) 02:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
