ELECTIONS

DC4D engages in elections for local office in every election cycle. We engage candidates in forums and questionnaires, and our members vote to endorse candidates. For the candidates and campaigns that are endorsed, we bring people power to knock doors, raise funds, and win elections.  Endorsements require two-thirds of voting members. To vote, you must attend a DC4D monthly meeting and sign the membership pledge at least 30 days prior to an endorsement vote.
