Reminder! August Endorsement Meeting Wednesday, 8/31, 7:00pm
Reminder to Members!
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.
Please be certain to register in advance for the Zoom meeting at the link above. Members who are registered for the meeting will receive their voting code via email two hours in advance of the meeting, which will make the check-in process go smoothly. Those who do not register in advance will have to have their membership verified and checked at the virtual "door". If too many members do this, the line will be long, and the meetng may be delayed, as we cannot start until ALL members are credentialled. Help us start on time be registering in advance!
Members in good standing may vote, guests may observe to proceedings.
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:

The candidates for the House Position 2 race each have been provided an identical list of contact information from the district to reach out to membership. We do not have contact information for all family members on family memberships, however.
