Thanks for the Albany Ballot Measures Discussion!

ENDORSEMENT VOTE RESULTS from August 27th

City Council:
No endorsement.
No candidate crossed the Club's 60% threshold after rounds of Ranked Choice Voting were completed.

School Board:
The Albany Democratic Club endorses 3 candidates:
Melissa Boyd
Becky Hopwood
Josh Mahoney
These 3 candidates crossed the 60% threshold after the rounds of Ranked Choice Voting were done.  There is a 4th opening on the Board but a 4th candidate did not cross the 60% threshold.

The forum was written up in the Albany Scanner:

Thanks go out to candidates for their participation to introduce themselves and their ideas to the Club and to the public.  Thanks also for Club members for voting and participating in the discussions.  Thanks too for your patience while we resolved the early termination of the voting window.

Learn more about the candidates and their campaigns and how to get involved from this survey they filled out for the Club which we are sharing with the general public. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vu34oyrwX8CxphOz6avRG0xT2ygvO1e4cHY3UGvgAkA/edit?usp=sharing
