Endorsement Process
- Email the chair of our elections committee to express your interest in an endorsement. Please include your full name, the position for which you are running, and a completed county questionnaire. (You may send either a King County or Snohomish County questionnaire; we do not have a preference and suggest you use whichever is most appropriate.)
- The Elections Committee may or may not contact you for an interview. An endorsement recommendation will be made by the committee in early May.
- You may email our Chair, Ken Lapp, at any time to ask for time to speak during general membership meetings (the third Monday of every month).
- Our members will vote on endorsements at our May meeting, which will likely be moved to May 24 (after filing week is over but before candidate statements are due).
- Elections-Endorsements Committee Rules
We choose endorsements through an in-depth process. Our Elections Committee vets, then recommends one candidate per race to the full membership of the First District Democrats. During our monthly meetings, committee-recommended candidates are introduced and speak with members. Then we vote. It takes a 2/3rds majority of members for us to officially endorse a candidate. To learn more about candidates and help shape our endorsements, we invite you to join us as a visitor or as a member.
Please contact the elections chair with any questions. Thank you!
