During that time, voters seeking to be candidates must pick up nomination documents from the County Registrar of Voters (or from a city clerk for those running for municipal offices) and return those completed forms by the deadline. The Democratic Party works to elect leaders who share our values -- like standing up for working people, quality of life, social justice, environmental stewardship, investments in infrastructure, and accessible, high-quality education and healthcare.
