Overview

​Endorsing aligned Democratic candidates committed to elevating and supporting Asian communities in Los Angeles County is a crucial element of our work. Our community-driven endorsement process includes a Community Endorsement Committee (CEC) comprised of our members, which hosts candidate endorsement interviews and makes direct recommendations to the Board. A detailed explanation of our multi-phase endorsement process will be provided to candidates who apply for our endorsement, and is described in detail below.

The Asian Democrats of LA County intend to provide where possible support to endorsed candidates, which may include donations, mailers (in English and translated Asian languages), canvassing and phone banking events, and digital ads, amongst other targeted supports.

On a select basis, our Board will choose to endorsement ballot measures and policies that align with the mission and values of our organization and bolster Asian communities in Los Angeles. In accordance with our by-laws, ballot measure/policy endorsements are not subject to the multi-phase candidate endorsement process, and will be voted on directly by our Board.

Community Endorsement Committee

The Asian Democrats of Los Angeles County Community Endorsement Committee (CEC) serves as an independent body of local Asian Democratic Party community members who will provide diverse community perspectives within ADLAC’s multi-phased endorsement process.

CEC recommendations inform the ADLAC Board’s final candidate endorsement decisions. When the CEC chooses to make a formal recommendation (motions to endorse a candidate or for no endorsement in a race), an ADLAC Board vote must equal 60% or higher to overturn the CEC decision.
