Fresno Stonewall Democrats will be conducting our Endorsement Meeting on Tuesday, March 10th, at 5:30 PM, where members will vote to decide which candidates to endorse for the upcoming Primary Election on June 2, 2026. Endorsement of a candidate requires 60% of members voting. New members must wait a grace period of twenty-eight (28) days before they are eligible to vote — this means only members who joined on or before February 10, 2026 may participate in this process.
Candidates have been invited to attend this meeting, in person or on Zoom, if they would like to address members before the selection process begins (candidates will be allowed to speak for three minutes).
5:30 PM : Dinner and Drink Orders
6:00 PM : Meeting Calls to Order
6:15 PM : Candidates get 3 minutes each
A completed Questionnaire is required to be considered for endorsement and informs our members as to the candidates positions on issues related to our mission and goals. Below are candidates who completed our questionnaire.
