The November General Election is on the horizon and the San Mateo County Democratic Party is preparing to open a campaign headquarters in September and we will need our friends and supporters for the work ahead in support of candidates running for local, state and federal offices.
There are numerous items on the ballot this year. For an overview of the elections in each San Mateo County community please visit the San Mateo County Elections Office Web site here.

California Democratic Party Endorsements
The July Executive Board Meeting of the California Democratic Party was held at the Oakland Marriott in City Center the weekend of July 11-13 in Oakland.
State Executive Board members voted on a number of endorsements for as many as seven statewide ballot measures that will affect a range of major policy areas including health insurance rates, malpractice awards, sentencing for certain offenders, Indian Gaming Compacts, state budgetary reserve policy and a major water infrastructure bond.
A full list of all of the CDP endorsements for partisan offices and the state ballot measures can be found at the CDP Web site here.
Local Endorsements
The San Mateo County Democratic Party will issue local endorsements for a range of local offices and measures in early September. To stay informed please visit smcdems.org or follow us @SMCDEMS or on Facebook.
Voter Registration
In addition to working in support of Democratic candidates in advance of the June Primary Election, the San Mateo County Democratic Party is sponsoring a vigorous voter registration effort throughout the county.
The Party will continue to have booths at many events in local communities but will also train interested volunteers in doing voter registration at other public sites.
Interested volunteers should contact the Party here.
The election season ahead will be exciting and as always there remains much work to do as we prepare for the next elections in November.
We invite all San Mateo County Democrats to participate in upcoming events and efforts to keep San Mateo County blue.
