Democratic Woman's Club of San Diego Endorsement Meeting Notice

Hello ,

Subject:

DWCSD Endorsement Meeting, Monday, August 16, 2021 at 6:30 PM

This is to notify you that the Democratic Woman’s Club of San Diego will attempt to endorse, at our meeting on August 16, in the La Mesa City Council Special Election race scheduled for this November. There are three Democratic candidates running:

  • Mejgan Afshan

  • Patricia Dillard

  • Michelle Louden

Reminder! Per the Club’s revised by-laws passed at the February 2021 meeting: “A member in good standing who has attended at least two (2) prior meetings in the previous twelve (12) months and, for new members, has paid dues at least forty-five (45) days prior to the meeting shall be eligible to vote for Club Officer elections and Club endorsements.”

Because there are more than two candidates we anticipate that we will use our Ranked Choice voting process for this effort. As we did last year, we will be using an online voting tool to capture and calculate the vote and that link will only be sent to members eligible to vote. Please watch for an email with more detail about a week before the meeting. That email will provide more detail and instructions, as well as the Zoom meeting link and a link to the candidate questionnaires.

Regards,

Yvonne Elkin

As always, if any member has questions or concerns, please feel free to call me. I look forward to 'seeing you' on Monday.
