Here are DPCCC’s endorsements for County offices in the 2022 primary ballot, as decided by the Central Committee voting membership at a special meeting on Thursday, March 24:
- Sheriff: Ben Therriault (candidate questionnaire).
- Superintendent of Schools: Lynn Mackey (candidate questionnaire).
- District Attorney: Diana Becton (candidate questionnaire).
- Clerk-Recorder: No Endorsement.
- Assessor: Floy Andrews (candidate questionnaire).
- County Board of Supervisors, District 1: John Gioia (candidate questionnaire).
- County Board of Supervisors, District 4: No Endorsement.
For the two offices for which the result was No Endorsement, there are several qualified Democratic candidates who deserve consideration for the support of individual Democrats.
DPCCC’s process to arrive at these endorsements was robust. We interviewed sixteen candidates for seven offices. We had seventy people involved in interviews, representing all five Supervisorial districts. Ninety people attended our final DPCCC Endorsement meeting. Our interview panels included local chartered Democratic club members and DPCCC members from across the county.
We need everyone’s help to get out the vote starting in April – only 6 weeks until ballots will be mailed. Join us at the Primary Campaign Kick-off April 23rd! To volunteer, please email our Elections Committee: elections@contracostadems.com.
