Thank you to everyone that came to our marathon Endorsement Meeting on May 24th (we went until 10:38pm!). Did you tune into the amazing (and funny) live Tweet from @36th, which featured some of the best #NoContext36thDems from the meeting and meeting chat? Who knew it was the hottest place to be on a Wednesday night?!

It was great to have moments of connection and even levity, but we also had the serious business of our endorsements and a large set of positions and candidates. Chair Tyler Crone presided for the majority of the meeting, with the Vice-Chair stepping up to help out for the King County District 4 position.

Thank you to all the members that showed up, as well as all the candidates running for offices. We truly appreciate the participation and dedication everyone showed. It’s a pleasure being part of the 36th LD!
