Thank you to everyone who joined our meeting last week and who was able to vote for endorsements!

With all votes counted, Tom Steyer has passed our 60% threshold and earned the club endorsement!

As a reminder, there are a few things to note about this particular election for governor: 

1. California's top two system means that our crowded field of Democrats is currently splitting the vote. the two main Republican candidates have consistently polled above most Democrats for exactly this reason. 

2. Members in our discussion tonight all agreed: we should vote strategically to make sure we have a strong Democrat for the November election, which will likely be against a Republican rather than two Democrats. Many of our members in the meeting stated they may wait until the last few days of voting to fill out their ballots to make sure they are informed by the latest polls. 

3. There are a lot of people on your ballot! Meaning more than 50 people! Just looking at the Democrats, there are around 30. Please read the ballot carefully, as many of the candidates running are not serious contenders.
