2025 Endorsements

These are the candidates and initiatives endorsed by the 34th District Democrats as of September 10th, 2025.

At our monthly meetings, the members of the 34th hold candidate forums and panels on current issues facing our community. As election time nears we deliberate and make informed choices as to which candidates and ballot measures should receive our endorsement and contributions.

Our meetings are public and we welcome you to join us every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 6:00 PM.  View recordings of our meetings on Youtube. Review our rules

Our Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs) knock on your door to encourage you to make your voice heard with your vote. Your participation has never mattered more.
