Newly Endorsed Candidates

Fresno Stonewall Democrats met on September 13, 2022, to decide on additional endorsements for the upcoming November 8 General Election. Thank you to all our members who came together for this selection process. Your contribution to the club is appreciated.

Congratulations to the following endorsed candidates:

See our Endorsements page for a full list of all endorsed candidates.

Next month, at our October 11 meeting, we will decide on some additional endorsements for races in which the candidate has changed since the June primary and we are also planning a presentation on the Propositions that will be on the November ballot and considering endorsements for those as well.

Endorsement Meeting on Sept 13, 2022

Doors open at 5:30pm for refreshments, socializing/networking, and hot topic discussions until the meeting calls to order at 6:00pm. Club members in good standing will vote to endorse Democratic candidates on the November ballot. New members are only eligible to vote after a 30 day waiting period. Candidates who receive a 60% vote from members at the endorsement meeting will win the endorsement and will be published on this website and social media.
