So that our club may register any endorsement in the race we will hold an endorsement consideration via ZOOM tonight starting at 6:30 pm.

Voting eligibility
To be eligible to vote in the club's endorsement process, you need to be a registered Democrat and have attended one meeting after you became a member. In any year that you do not renew your membership on-time, which is by January 31, you become ineligible to vote until you renew your membership. If you renew your membership after March 31, you must attend a meeting before you are eligible to vote again. In 2023, we extended that date to April 25 due to the late mailing of the reminder notices.
If you are currently a member, where you renewed your membership between November 1, 2022 and April 25, 2023, you are likely eligible to vote in the endorsement process. Reasons why you might not be eligible to vote include not attending a meeting since you became a member or not attending a meeting since you renewed late either this year or in a prior year.
