ENDORSEMENTS
Oak Forest Area Democrats normally endorses in contested General Elections impacting our service area. Our process strives to be transparent and fair. We usually form a screening committee to provide non-binding recommendations of candidates, after which our membership decides on endorsement in a public meeting. Endorsements for General elections or ballot propositions usually require a simple majority vote of the membership present at our endorsement meetings. We also may choose to endorse in contested Democratic Primaries (requires a two thirds majority) but we generally avoid doing so except in extraordinary circumstances.
