Immediately below are the 2024 August Endorsements.
This was the first time Whatcom Democrats has used Ranked Choice Voting, specifically to endorse three candidates in each of the District races for County Charter
Review Commission. In each county council district, you will be voting for three commissioner candidates. There are five districts, each with three commissioners, for a total of 15 commissioners to be elected.
We apologize for the fact that Rick Larsen was inadvertently omitted from the Endorsement Ballot in the chaos of a last-minute move from one online election system, ElectionRunner, to another, ElectionBuddy, in order to accommodate the multi-seat Ranked Choice Voting system used for the County Charter Review Commission races.
Considering that Rick was unopposed, the Executive Board has unanimously declared him ENDORSED.
