Endorsement Information for Candidates—March 2020
The San Mateo County Democratic Party (also known as the San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee, or SMC DCC) invites Democrats running for county, city, or school district office in San Mateo County to apply for the Democratic Party endorsement for the March 2020 election.
All candidates who are considering an endorsement should first review the Endorsement Process document: Process Explanation
After reviewing the document candidates who seek the party’s endorsement must complete the online application form available here. The application must be submitted electronically by the deadline of 10:00 pm on December 16, 2019. Candidates may prepare their answers using this Word version of the form or this PDF version of the form. Submissions must still be made via the electronic form. The Word document is an aid to help in preparing answers only.
Eligible applicants will be scheduled for an interview on January 9th from 7:00 PM to 8:20 PM. Please keep this date open for your interview. If you have not received an email confirming the date, time and location of your interview by January 3, 2020, email [email protected] with a CC to [email protected].
It is our job to recruit, mentor, support, and elect good Democrats. And we take great pride in the large numbers of our endorsed candidates that are elected and measures passed. In addition, we like to get to know and build relationships with these individuals as they serve in these important elected positions. It is the backbone of why we exist as a County Democratic Party.
