Hello San Juan County Democrats,

The next meeting of our county Democrats will be on Saturday, Aug. 27, at 9:30 AM on Zoom.  At this meeting we will vote on our endorsements for the fall general election.  The endorsement committee has been working to gather information on the candidates and ballot measures, and this committee will have recommendations for the voting members attending the meeting on Aug. 27.  Anyone who has attended at least two meetings in the last year is a voting member.

While a number of races have only one candidate, there are several important races that are competitive.  Both of our wonderful state reps have challengers; Alex Ramel is opposed by Trevor Smith, and I just found out today that Debra Lekanoff has a write-in challenger.  Other candidate races with two candidates include US senator, US congressman, secretary of state, and our county sheriff.  In addition, we have three local ballot measures, and if you haven’t heard, the challenge to the county’s not putting the other four charter review amendments on the ballot was successful, so we will consider those as well.

Here is the information you will need to attend the meeting:  
Time: Aug 27, 2022 09:30 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
