About the areCregistered
lub Democratic Party members who believe in progressive, traditional Democratic
Our members
Party ideals. Many of us come from activist backgrounds and have worked for peace, justice, economic
equity, civil rights, equal rights, good government, public education, and other issues.
Each spring the Club has an endorsement meeting during which members evaluate the candidates and vote to
endorse for the upcoming Democratic primary. Our endorsements are printed in a Voters Guide which is
mailed to all registered Democrats in the 14th Ward. Our reputation for an open process of allowing our
members to meet and hear the candidates before they vote gives our endorsements credibility in the
community. The Club's endorsement has helped candidates to receive a larger number of votes than they
would have received without our endorsement. Your contributions make this possible. Thank you!
