Saturday, January 20th at 10am
At this meeting, we will hear from the Democratic judicial candidates that will appear on the March ballot - Jodi Cleesattle for Office 41 and Koryn Sheppard for Office 43.
Additionally, we will considering a clarification to the San Diego County Democratic Party bylaws regarding consideration of candidates for endorsement by democratic clubs. The bylaws currently state that all democrats candidates must be notified and invited to an endorsement meeting in their race where the state or local democratic party has not yet endorsed. The proposal is to further clarify that clubs must also consider all democratic candidates when making an endorsement consideration in their race. (Note - this has been the common interpretation of the current bylaw, this amendment would further clarify this requirement).
Further agenda items coming shortly.

Votebuilder
All clubs have the option to request a Votebuilder/VAN account from the San Diego County Democratic Party, which has a quick lookup tool you can use to verify member information based on voter registration data (one per club).
Please email clubs@sdddemocrats.org, and SDCDP staff will get back to you as soon as they can.
Recurring Zoom Links for Club Meetings
Reminder:
The Club or Coalition shall meet individually at least once quarterly and for all endorsement votes and all meeting dates, times, and locations shall be provided to the SDCDP at least fourteen (14) days prior to the meeting for publication on the SDCDP website. A copy of the notice, agenda, and minutes for business meetings or endorsement meetings shall be supplied via email to the Director of Clubs and the SDCDP.
We’d like to encourage everyone to use a recurring Zoom meeting link for your club so we can add the link in the Party Calendar, which is easier than updating it once a month with a new link.
You can have a recurring meeting and still require registration (if desired), and either automatically or manually approve registrations. You can have them register for each meeting, or once for all meetings where they can use the same personal link every month.
You can still extract attendance records, as Zoom provides a report per meeting.
If you need help setting this up, please reach out for assistance.
Party Calendar
If you provided a Gmail address when re-chartering, you are able to edit your club’s meeting entries on the Party Calendar, on which the club is set up with a recurring meeting. You can edit just one occurrence or the complete series. You can add details of the agenda to each meeting, or change the date and time as required. If you need help, please reach out for assistance.
And as a reminder, if you change your meeting date, time, or location (Zoom link), you must update the calendar item yourself, or email clubs@sddemocrats.org.
If you don’t yet have access to edit your club’s Google calendar item, please email clubs@sddemocrats.org and provide the email address you want to use so SDCDP staff can assist you.
