Call to General Election Endorsement Meeting - 7:00pm, Weds. August 31st!

Greetings, Fearless 46ers!

We hope that your summer has been either productive or relaxing, or both.  As we enjoy the last days of the season, it's time to look towards autumn, and all that fall brings to us, especially the General Election!

On August 31, we will have our second meeting of the year that is principally focused on endorsements.  We have some ballot measures to consider, some races that did not appear on the ballot for the Primary, and of course, State House Position 2. 

This is the formal call to the August 2022 Meeting of the 46th LD Democrats on Wednesday 8/31/22 at 7:00pm - held via Zoom.

Click here to register for the August regular + endorsements meeting.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting via Zoom.

We should also take a moment to congratulate Darya Farivar and Lelach Rave on advancing to the General Election in the House Position 2 race, and to thank Nina Martinez, Melissa Taylor, and Dr. Nancy Connolly for their well-run races and thoughtful dialogue with the community on the issues facing us all.

Are you wondering if you, your family members or friends are members in good standing, and eligible to vote at the endorsement meeting?  Find the complete membership list here:
