GENERAL ELECTION Endorsements 2016 Dear Neighbor: As a service to the citizens of the 34th Legislative District, our Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs) knock on your door to urge you to exercise your right to vote. We provide you with our endorsement news. We do outreach at community festivals to register voters. We are there to remind citizens that our Democratic values are family values: The right to health coverage and retirement security; fair wages and quality education; to housing and efficient transportation; to safe infrastruc- ture and climate crisis solutions; to vote; to govern our own bodies; and to live a life free from violence and discrimination. Each election is important but the stark choice in this Presidential year may be the most important of our lifetime. This is no time for complacency. You can make a difference by sharing your sample ballot with family, friends and neighbors, and most importantly by mailing in your ballot and encouraging them to do the same. Each month, the 34th District Democrats gather to hold candidate forums and panels on issues. We vote on which candidates, initiatives, and ballot measures to support. Join us every 2nd Wednesday at 7:00 p.m., at Nicole Gaines-Phelps the Hall at Fauntleroy to talk about issues most impor- Superior Court Judge Position 14 tant to you.
