Endorsement Meeting
Monday, August 29, 2022: 6:30 PM
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE DWC-SD PLANNED ENDORSEMENT VOTE FOR August 29, 2022.
Please join your fellow Democratic Woman's Club (DWC) members for our final endorsement meeting of the 2021-2022 election cycle scheduled for Monday, August 29, at 6:30 PM. This meeting will be dedicated to endorsing candidates for the November General Election.
As a reminder, per the Club by-laws as amended on 11/16/2021: “A General Member in good standing who has attended at least two (2) prior meetings, as a member, in the previous twelve (12) months shall be eligible to vote for Club Officer elections and Club endorsements”.
Only those members who meet the above voting eligibility requirements will receive an email from the Democratic Woman’s Club Endorsement Committee with your secure ballot to vote at the meeting. We will begin sending ballots approximately five days prior to the meeting. Please be sure to open and read each of those emails, as they contain all the information you need to participate in the endorsement meeting. If you meet the eligibility to vote criteria and do not see the email with your ballot in your inbox, please check your spam/junk mail folder. If you still cannot find the email, please contact me as soon as possible, so we can research and get your ballot to you before the date of the meeting.
The email will also contain the Zoom link for the meeting, a link to view the candidate questionnaires, and a personalized secure link to your voting ballot.
The City Council race in La Mesa has 3 candidates vying for 2 open seats. To enable the DWC to efficiently attempt to endorse 2 candidates in this race during a virtual meeting, the Endorsement Committee will follow the precedent we set in August 2020, when attempting to endorse in the National City City Council race. On August 29, 2022, for the La Mesa City Council race ONLY, we will waive the 60% threshold rule. We will, instead, use our Ranked Choice voting process to determine the two top vote getters. Both of those candidates will receive our endorsement. “No Endorsement” will always be an option.
On Monday, August 29, 2022, we will attempt to endorse in the following races
La Mesa City Council: Mejgan Afshan. Kathleen Brand, Patricia Dillard
La Mesa/Spring Valley School District, Seat 3: Brianna Coston
Chula Vista Elementary School Board Area 3: Marquetta Brown, Leslie Bunker
National City Mayor: Jose Rodriguez, Alejandra Sotelo-Solis
Helix Water District Board, Division 2: Andrea Beth Damsky
