Endorsements In The 2018 Democratic Primary In Dallas County
These are the endorsements by Democratic Party clubs and organizations (and some others) that I have found so far. There are or will be others. Send me any more lists or corrections and I'll add them here. Email to Roundup@DallasDemocrats.org. I have only listed offices where there is a primary contest, not those unopposed. (NOTE: More than one group has advised that they did not endorse in some contested races because their rules require a two-thirds vote and no candidate reached that threshold.)
