Notice of Endorsement Considerations for San Diego Unified School District Member, Board of Education District C & City of San Diego Member, City Council District No. 2
Special Candidate Forum January 13, 6PM, Pacific Beach Library
Happy Holidays! 2026 is almost upon us and with it endorsements of local candidates.
Get ready for some great events as we deliberate on elections crucial to our community. Your participation, insights and advocacy are invaluable in shaping our club endorsements.
Notice of Endorsement Consideration for San Diego Unified School District Member, Board of Education District C
The San Diego County Democratic Party’s regional meeting (Metro West) will consider endorsements for San Diego Unified School District Member, Board of Education District C on Monday, January 26.
Our regular monthly meeting is at the Pt Loma Assembly on Sunday January 25, 4PM and as such is too late for us to give adequate notice of our endorsement to local party officials.
But, the Executive Board of the local party has come up with a solution whereby we can take part in a Candidate Forum on January 13 and still register our endorsement for this race on time.
The candidate forum is being organized with the Pacific Beach and La Jolla Democratic Clubs. As we vote on endorsements with electronic mail ballots you do not need to attend the forum to be able to vote, but it will give you a chance to hear from the candidate(s) and ask questions before you cast your ballot.

Voting eligibility
To be eligible to vote in the club’s endorsement process, you need to be a registered Democrat and have attended one meeting after you became a member. In any year that you do not renew your membership on-time, which is by January 31, you become ineligible to vote until you renew your membership. If you renew your membership after March 31, you must attend a meeting before you are eligible to vote again.
If you are currently a member, where you renewed your membership between November 1, 2025 and now, you are likely eligible to vote in the endorsement process.
Reasons why you might not be eligible to vote include not attending a meeting since you became a member or not attending a meeting since you renewed late either this year or in a prior year.
