Endorsements
ENDC is not just a Democratic club, we firmly believe in the value of a robust democracy. We believe that only a government by the people and for the people can be a legitimate representation of our communal aspirations and the key to fulfilling our humanity. We have dedicated our club activities to engaging voters and increasing voter turnout in districts 3, 6, and 10. To ensure our members understand what's on their ballot and how that can affect our city, ENDC researches each candidate and ballot measure and comes up with a list of endorsements.
A Message From Bruce
About the 2024 Election
Club President Bruce Agid
ENDC Members and Friends,
​
Although there are many votes still to be counted, the election results are in on so many fronts.
Nationally
Donald Trump is the President-Elect. Although we are all devastated by this reality, each of us will process and move forward in a different way. Whether it's Anger, Sadness, Depression, Fear, etc, that's OK. However, know either in the words of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, "We don't agonize, We organize," or in the words of Bruce Agid, "Just get back up, dust yourself off, and continue to fight", that is what's happening now. At the state level, Governor Gavin Newsom has reconvened the state legislature to ‘Trump-proof’ California, and at the local level, City Attorney David Chiu was asked, "What's next?" His response was swift and unfaltering: "We fight like hell." So talk to your family, friends, and your neighbors. Vent your anger, frustration, and concerns, and then let's get ready to stand strong.
If you want to chat and/or find out how to get more involved, don't hesitate to reach out to me at bruce.h.agid@gmail.com.

Thank you, Mayor Breed, for your unwavering commitment to all San Franciscans through your bold, courageous, and fearless leadership. You led us through some of the most tumultuous times: taking the helm when Mayor Edwin M.

In spite of this, working with our local legislative body, City departments, and community and business leaders, we are on our way back! Thank You!
Congratulations and welcome to Mayor-Elect Daniel Lurie. You ran an amazing campaign reaching the hearts and minds of so many San Francisco Voters achieving a decisive victory. We look forward to working and supporting you as you transition with Mayor Breed's team and move forward with your agenda; Clean and safe streets for all, tackling the drug and behavioral health crisis, shaking up the ineffective bureaucracy, building enough housing to turn around our affordability crisis, breathing life back into our downtown, and ensuring our small businesses are thriving. Please let us know how we can help.
