Hello EBSDC Members,

On Wednesday, September 11th, 2024 at 6PM the East Bay Stonewall Democratic Club will vote to endorse in many races on the ballot for November 5th. To be eligible for endorsements, candidates in the races listed below will need to complete and submit this endorsement questionnaire by 6PM on Thursday September 5th (no exceptions will be made). 

Then on September 11th at 5:30PM the endorsement ballot will be sent out. A zoom meeting of the club will happen and give each candidate vying for an endorsement a certain amount of time to introduce themselves. We will send out an agenda and timeframes when we get closer to the endorsement date.

Please note that some offices and measures are not included in this endorsement meeting. Those races may have a separate endorsement if time and resources allow.

Members, if you know a candidate, please be sure to alert them to this endorsement and questionnaire. It is also important that members make sure they are in good standing in order to vote for candidates.

Please send any questions to the EBSDC PAC Chair Ryan LaLonde at ryanclalonde@gmail.com
