2024 California Statewide, Legislative & Congressional Democratic Candidates
Our local affiliates endorse at the local level. Please check with your local club. 
Rather than endorse a single candidate, we provide grades to reflect their positions and relationship with the mainstream Jewish community (we do not view Jewish Voice for Peace or IfNotNow as reflective of mainstream Jewish views).
Strong Support - An exemplary record of leadership and close relationship to the Jewish community.
Support - Views aligned with the mainstream Jewish community and an established relationship with the Jewish communit.
Neutral - Unable to determine or record unclear regarding relationship with Jewish community and alignment of club and Democratic Party values, but open to improvement.
Oppose - Beliefs, positions or actions antagonistic to the values of the mainstream Jewish community.
