Endorsement consideration - The Executive Board of the Jefferson County Democrats recommends endorsement of Libby Wennstrom for Port Townsend City Council. This endorsement will require a 2/3 vote of eligible pre-registered JCD members present and voting at the Sept 21 meeting to take effect. We are still operating under the emergency rules mandated by the State Democratic Party, so we must meet and vote virtually, without paper ballots. Voting methods will be similar to those used at the JCD reorganization last December.
UPDATE: The membership voted to endorse Libby Wennstrom for Port Townsend City Council Position 5. The Vote tally was 46 for, 11 against.
You must have Pre-Registered by September 14, 2021 to be able to vote on the endorsement vote. Eligible voters include all JCD Members in good standing on August 31, 2021. Eligible voters also include former members whose membership has lapsed since September 21, 2020, and who renewed their membership before the September 14, 2021 Pre-Registration deadline. To check your membership status or to renew, contact membership@jeffcodemocrats.com Everyone who pre-registered should have received a unique voting ID via email.
