Endorsements

The Monterey County Democratic Central Committee (MCDCC) midterm endorsements will be coming soon. Following thoughtful review we will need to unite behind Democrats who are ready to fight for working families, champion social justice, and uplift the values we hold dear here in Monterey County.

Our local endorsements will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the California Democratic Party, creating a unified, unstoppable force for progress from the White House to our neighborhoods. Let’s do this! 💪

Get Involved! ✨
