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”.
Those members who meet the above voting eligibility requirements should have received an email from Yvonne Elkin of the Democratic Woman’s Club
Endorsement Committee with a confidential ballot to vote at the 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 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, ask voting members to select up to two choices on their ballots 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
- National City Mayor: Jose Rodriguez (Alejandra Sotelo-Solis did not return the required paperwork and will not be participating)
- Sweetwater Union High School Board Area 3: Marquetta Brown, Elva Lopez-Zepeda
- Chula Vista Elementary School Board Area 3: Leslie Bunker
- La Mesa/Spring Valley School District, Seat 3: Brianna Coston
- Helix Water District Board, Division 2: Andrea Beth Damsky
Regards,
Yvonne Elkin
