Steel City Stonewall Board Election And Candidate Endorsement Procedures 2013
This annual membership meeting serves two purposes:
To elect candidates to the Steel City Stonewall Democrats (SCSD) Board of Directors;
To endorse Candidates for public office running in the Democratic Primary.
The SCSD Endorsement Committee, with the input of the Board, creates questionnaires specific to the races being sought which are sent to the candidates prior to the endorsement – election event. Candidate responses are then posted on the SCSD website and are made available at the event.
Members, non-members, Candidates and surrogates are welcome at our annual membership meeting. Renewing members may pay their dues at the door. New members must join by March 24th to be eligible to vote. Members (including Candidate members) will be provided with ballots for both the Board Election and the Candidate Endorsement vote. Non-members cannot vote in either election.
