ECDC endorsements are made in each election cycle according to our by-laws (pdf). Only members in good standing for 30 days prior to the endorsement forum may vote, and the ECDC may only endorse Democrats in any race whether partisan or non-. A candidate must be selected on 60% of the members present to gain the club’s endorsement.

 

Apr 19: EC Precinct walk for DeSaulnier

Mark DeSaulnier’s campaign for Congress will come to El Cerrito on April 19, with precinct walking from 9 AM to 1 PM. We endorsed Mark at our February endorsement forum, and this is a great opportunity to get involved in the campaign.

If you are interested in walking, the organizers will meet at El Mono Cafe, on San Pablo near del Norte BART station, at 9 AM. Contact Carla Hansen at ecdc.pres@gmail.com for additional details.
