Endorsements
ENDC is not just a Democratic club, we firmly believe in the value of a robust democracy. We believe that only a government by the people and for the people can be a legitimate representation of our communal aspirations and the key to fulfilling our humanity. We have dedicated our club activities to engaging voters and increasing voter turnout in districts 3, 6, and 10. To ensure our members understand what's on their ballot and how that can affect our city, ENDC researches each candidate and ballot measure and comes up with a list of endorsements.

To find out some basic information about each candidate running for the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee (SF DCCC), we sent out a one-page questionnaire to put them on record for some positions they have taken in the past few years. We hope this helps our members better understand what to expect when they vote for the future committee members of the SF DCCC.
