Special May Endorsements Meeting (Virtual)
2025-05-15 18:30 - 20:00
Join us on Thursday, May 15th for a Special General Body Meeting to vote on our first round of Endorsement Recommendations from our 41st Dems Endorsement Committee!
The Endorsement Committee is hard at work interviewing candidates and putting together endorsement recommendations for our membership to consider. As more candidates file for election and fill out the KCD Candidate Questionnaire, our committee will continue to conduct interviews in time to make a robust recommendation on May 15. This timing will allow candidates to include our endorsement in the Voter’s Pamphlet Statement (due May 20th!).
We will continue to interview candidates and bring endorsement recommendations for a membership vote at our regular General Meetings in the future.
