The Westchester-Playa Democratic Club follows the endorsements of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party and the California Democratic Party.
Per our Club Bylaws, in the absence of any endorsement by the State or County Democratic Committees, the Club may act on endorsements of Democratic Party candidates and positions on ballot measures upon:
the recommendations of the Executive Board;
the request of a candidate or sponsor of a position on a ballot measure;
or a motion from a Member.
To win endorsement, a candidate, or a position on a ballot measure, must obtain a favorable vote from at least sixty percent (60%) of the Members present and voting at a General Membership Meeting. In addition:
Whenever possible, candidates, and proponents of positions on ballot measures, should be invited to make a presentation and answer questions at a General Membership Meeting. Notices of endorsement meetings shall be made in the same manner as notices for all General Membership Meetings.
In no event shall the Club endorse a non-Democratic candidate in any race, nor shall it provide financial support for non-Democrats.
Members in Good Standing shall be allowed to vote if they have been Members for sixty (60) days prior to the endorsement vote.
Candidates & Speakers Welcome
We welcome candidates and their representatives to attend our monthly meetings to meet Club Members, and we can offer time during our monthly agenda for candidates to speak. If you are interested in attending a monthly General Membership Meeting, please contact the Club President at pres@westchesterplayademclub.org.
