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.)

KEY:
DEMOCRATIC PARTY CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS:
LHWR --Lake Highlands / White Rock Democrats
PVL -- Progressive Voters League A New Era
SDD -- Stonewall Democrats of Dallas
PHD -- Preston Hollow Democrats
DCTD -- Dallas County Tejano Democrats
MD -- Metrocrest Democrats
FNDRD -- Far North Dallas Richardson Democrats
MADC -- Mexican American Democrats Causa Chapter
NTAD -- North Texas Asian Democrats
NON-PARTY ENDORSEMENTS:
DA -- Dallas AFL-CIO OR TA -- Texas AFL-CIO
DBCBA -- Dallas Black Criminal Bar Association (judicial and DA only)
MABA -- Mexican American Bar Association
PT -- Progress Texas (statewide only)
TOP -- Texas Organizing Project (2 state house contests only)
SC -- Sierra Club Political Committee of Texas (2 state house contests only)
NON-ENDORSEMENT RATINGS:
CQJ -- Committee For A Qualified Judiciary (evaluates, does not endorse, so in some cases they list more than one candidate as qualified in the same contest)
