Endorsements are determined by a 60% vote of members in attendance of an Endorsement Meeting, announced 28 days in advance. All club members are strongly encouraged to attend so we can get the most accurate consensus.
All Democratic Candidates running in the June Primary Election were invited to speak at the recent meeting on February 10, 2026. Candidates who were unable to attend are invited to attend our next meeting on March 10, 2026.
Please contact us to schedule your appearance at our March 10th Meeting:
