If you are a candidate in our district seeking an endorsement, please fill out this form or email our political director.
Candidates seeking WSYD's endorsement will also be asked to review our racial justice statement on our questionnaire (this is not a litmus test for endorsement). See below:
- Sign a statement affirming that Black Lives Matter.
- Not accept any donations from police unions.
- Support legislation that mandates that all law enforcement entities be subject to a Civilian Oversight Commission, with subpoena power, that will issue regular findings and reports of police-involved shootings and incidents.
- For candidates that will have direct oversight of police contracts: upon taking office, call for an independent, third-party review of their department's “use of force” techniques and policies. The results of the finding must be made available to the public.
