Endorsements

The Wellstone Club’s 2024 General Election endorsements are the result of a long and systematic effort to learn about the most important issues and offices at stake in this election for voters in Oakland and Berkeley. These endorsements were made by the Club’s entire membership, who voted using a secure web-based voting system.
