For a particular year's endorsements and information, click below on the year (also available on the menu above under endorsements):
Starting with the endorsement interviews in April 2008, the following will be the newly adopted process of endorsement for Stonewall Democrats of WNY: Stonewall Democrats of Western New York Endorsement Process Candidates for elected office who wish to be considered for endorsement must complete our questionnaire and schedule an interview appointment with the membership at a general meeting. Endorsement of a candidate requires a vote of sixty percent of the membership present at that meeting. If no candidate receives the required sixty percent vote for endorsement, subsequent ballots shall be taken deleting the candidate receiving the least number of votes or no votes on the previous ballot. If, after the completion of balloting, no candidate has received the sixty percent of the vote required, candidates may be rated as “acceptable,” “unacceptable,” or “no position,” depending upon the candidate’s record and/or position statements. If sixty percent of those voting cannot agree on a rating, the candidate will be assigned the rating of “no consensus.” If a candidate is endorsed, the remaining candidates will not be rated.
