Candidate Process:

On February 15, PAC interviewed, deliberated and voted to make endorsement recommendations to the larger Milk Club general membership. You can watch candidates' interviews on Youtube. On February 17, Milk Club general membership voted on the recommendations made by PAC and voted to confirm those recommendations as the Club's endorsements. You can view the final results of that vote below.

Should our endorsed candidates not proceed to the general election, Milk Club members can authorize a re-endorsement process for affected races in the November general election. The endorsement process for the November general election will take place later this year.

Consider reading the questionnaire sent to all candidates.
