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 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.

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 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.
