Endorsement Process

Ahead of each election in San Francisco, the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club selects which candidates and causes to endorse through candidate questionnaires, a PAC Committee interview, a PAC Committee recommendation, and finally a vote of eligible membership.

For the November 2026 election, this process will take place in August 2026. Please contact pac@alicebtoklas.org with questions.
