Official Endorsements

Liberty City LGBT Democratic Club endorses candidates based on an open and democratic process.  Members of the Endorsement Committee determine which candidates qualify for endorsement and evaluate them based on candidate responses to a questionnaire, interviews, the candidate's address to membership, and other research.  The Endorsement Committee then makes recommendations to the General Membership, who ultimately decide on our slate of endorsed candidates.  You can read more about our endorsement process by clicking here.

Below is a record of candidates we have endorsed for each election cycle over the past few years.
