2016 Endorsment Meetings 9-10-16 & 9-14-16
Membership Endorsement Meetings
- Saturday, September 10, 2016, 11:30 - 2:30 Candidate Forum co-sponsored with the D11 Council
- Saturday, September 10, 2016, 2:30 - 4:30pm for all Candidate Endorsements
- Wednesday, September 14, 2016, 6:30 - 9:30pm for all Proposition Endorsements
With plenty of candidates and over 40 propositions on the ballot, we had to expand to TWO big endorsement meetings in September. Everyone is welcome to attend as there are a lot of important propositions on the ballot
The SF D11 Democratic Club is co-sponsoring a candidate forum with the D11 Council from 11:30 to 2:30. Local candidates for the State Senate, Judge and D11 Supervisor Race have been invited. The location is the Crocker Amazon Clubhouse on Moscow at Italy. Check the calendar for more info
Our candidate endorsement meeting will commence immediately after the forum. The S.F. District 11 Democratic Club will also invite the candidates for School board and City College board. While it might seem like a long day, this process is very important to the future of our District. Of course, there will be plenty of food to keep our energy up for these very important decisions. Please RSVP here. The candidate endorsement meeting is also at the Crocker Amazon Clubhouse.
The propositions will be presented, discussed and voted on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, at the venerable Henry Hunan's Restaurant at 4753 Mission Street. We will provide summary sheets describing the propositions and speakers on some of the major ones. Please RSVP here. Again, it sounds like a long night but with a little political fellowship and a lot of noodles, you will emerge an educated voter!
Regular dues-paying members are eligible to vote on endorsements. Regular members can pay their dues on the spot to be eligible to vote on endorsements. New members who joined and paid dues 30 days ago or more are eligible to vote. All members of the community are invited to attend.
