Endorsement Information for Candidates - November 2022
The San Mateo County Democratic Party (SMCDems) invites Democrats running for city council, school district office, harbor district, or open space district in San Mateo County to apply for the Democratic Party endorsement for the November 2022 election.
All candidates who are considering an endorsement should first review the Endorsement Process document. You can register to attend an overview of the process on Thursday August 4 at 7 PM here.
To apply for the SMCDem Endorsement, please fill out the questionnaire here. The questionnaire cannot be changed or revised after submitted. It must be completed in one sitting. You may want to download the questions, answer them during a couple of sittings in Word and then copy and paste into the online application after you have answered all questions. Please do not send additional documents, resumes, flyers or endorsement letters.
Eligible applicants will be scheduled for an interview on August 27th or August 28h from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM via Zoom. Please keep these dates open for your interview. If you have not received an email confirming the date, time and location of your interview by August 26, 2020, email your scheduler or [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.
If you have any questions during this process, please contact the Endorsement Committee leadership:

Getting and Staying Involved
Interaction and building of all our current Democratic Clubs is a priority. Regular reports, inviting club membership to our monthly meetings, and encouraging them to join a committee or become an alternate/associate member is important for all of us. The more, the merrier!
I want to remind everyone that as elected members of the Central Committee, it is our responsibility to be representatives of Democratic values to the people of our County--helping to educate and guide them and finding and promoting Democratic candidates at all levels of service to our community. This year’s board or associate members could become the next city council person, supervisor, assemblymember, or senator.
There are many ways to get involved with the San Mateo County Democratic Party and we invite all local Democrats to support their Party by volunteering. Please take a look at our Web page, Facebook, or Twitter to keep abreast of events or issues that may be of interest. Make sure when you’re participating in a Democratic event that you use social media to get the word out. Make everyone want to be where you are!
Help me in inviting all local Democrats to join us in keeping San Mateo County BLUE!
Democratically Yours,
Karen Maki
