The  SMCDEM or San Mateo County Democratic Party represents the California Democratic Party within San Mateo County.  It's main role is to endorse good Democratic candidates for city councils and school boards and help endorsed candidates get elected.  SMCDEM also promotes Democratic values in other ways such as passing resolutions in support of state legislation, county or city actions - which align with Democratic values.   You can find a a complete list of  resolutions passed in the last three years here. 

SMCDEM is currently working on endorsements for the San Mateo County Supervisorial races in districts 1 and 4.  These races will also be on the March 5th ballot.  The endorsement decision will be made at the January 18, 2024 San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee Meeting.
