On August 28, SMDC will host its August Membership Meeting to consider endorsements for all statewide ballot measures, county ballot measures, and local ballot measures.

All members in good standing will be invited to vote on our Club endorsements for these measures. We will hear from experts on every ballot measure and consider the pros and cons of each position.

We will also consider one final judicial endorsement and welcome Franky Carrillo, candidate for Assembly District 52, and more guests to be announced soon.

August 28, 6:30pm @ Thelma Terry Center and on Zoom
