Endorsements In the 2016 Democratic Primary in Dallas County Texas

UPDATE: ADDED Communications Workers of America Local 6215
AND Dallas AFL-CIO FRIDAY FEB. 19

UPDATE: ADDED Dallas County Tejano Democrats FRIDAY FEB. 12

The Dallas County Democratic Party does not make endorsements in contested primaries. Several local Democratic organizations do in some races. Just for information, I have collected lists of these here (just as I listed here the candidates applying for the ballot before they were officially filed). So far, I have received six UPDATE: nine lists:

Communications Workers of America Local 6215
Dallas AFL-CIO
Dallas County Tejano Democrats
Far North Dallas Richardson Democrats
Lake Highlands/White Rock Democrats
Metrocrest Democrats
Preston Hollow Democrats
Progressive Voters League (A New Era)
Stonewall Democrats of Dallas

Not all groups even consider endorsements in every contest. For instance, only three endorsed for President (all for the same person). The only three races where all six seven groups supported candidates were Railroad Commissioner, District Judge of the 254th Judicial District, and County Tax Assessor-Collector (all six seven groups voted for the same candidate in each of those contests). Other candidates did win all four, all three, both, or even the only endorsement made in various races.

UPDATE FRIDAY FEB. 12: There are now THREE splits in endorsements, for three positions: Congress Dist. 30 (between two of the three candidates), Criminal District Judge of Court No. 2 (between all three candidates), and County Commissioner Precinct No. 3 (between two three of four). [And note that some groups also endorse in non-contested races as well.]

There are still other group endorsements that have been made (and more to come). Please send me lists of any other primary endorsements your own group has made this year, by email to BillHowellDCDP AT yahoo.com, and I'll add them to this collection.

As always, don't just blindly take any group's word for who to vote for in the primary -- judge for yourself and make up your own mind. You can find the candidates' own websites and contact info at this page:
