Tues Oct 1: Watch the VP debate with us!

PHDC has had several fun watch parties in the backroom at the Yankee over the years. Since the U.S. VP debate this year falls on our regular monthly meeting night, we will gather there again. Light snacks provided, drinks and additional food available. Now that Club endorsements are complete, we are inviting endorsed campaigns and candidates to drop by with lit and window signs. 

Potrero Hill Democratic Club VP Debate Watch Party

Tuesday, October 1st, 6:00-7:30pm

Connecticut Yankee back room (pool room), 100 Connecticut St @ 17th

Endorsements for November 5, 2024 Consolidated General Election

60% of votes cast is required for endorsement for propositions and single-winner races, and 50% for multiple-seat races.

If an office or proposition is not listed, that means no candidate or position reached the threshold for endorsement in that race; therefore the Club could take no position.
