Presidential Candidates’ Forum
& Endorsement Vote
Wednesday, February 12, 6:30pm, Dona Benicia Room, Benicia Library
In advance of the March 3 California Primary Election, we took an internal poll of our Progressive Democrats of Benicia in order to offer Benicians a PDB endorsement for a Democratic presidential candidate. So we held a candidates’ forum at our February 12 meeting.
These are campaigns which were represented on the panel and the person speaking on behalf of their candidate:
Pete Buttigieg, Nick Fletcher (or representative), CA Campaign Political Director
Mike Bloomberg, Patty Mitchell, Regional Campaign Director, Contra Costa Co.
(NOTE: Invitations were sent to the other campaigns but no responses were received.)
After the presentations by the candidates’ representatives, everyone present participated in a Q&A, and then PDB members voted to endorse the candidate of their choice.
Members not present had a week to vote online via the website. The online Membership Poll went up on the website on 2/12/20 after the meeting.
Endorsement results were posted here on the website after online voting closed on 2/19/20.

What do you get for your membership? In addition to the camaraderie and conversation with fellow Progressive Democrats on political concerns and current issues, as a member you are also eligible to vote – to endorse candidates for public office and on resolutions for action on local issues. And as a member you will help decide what issues the PDB should address and what actions we want to take.
What do you have to do as a member? No commitments are necessary. Membership itself is a tremendous support. Those who have time are welcome to join in planning programs, responding to action alerts, etc. If that’s not your cup of tea, but you still wish to support PDB’s efforts, a membership is just the ticket.
We need your help in fighting negative forces in Benicia and beyond who oppose progressive values, and who want non-progressive candidates appointed and elected to local offices and beyond. Don’t forget – in 2020 Benicia has three seats open for election: Mayor plus two Council seats. Big outside money may be meddling again, and we will likely have a fight on our hands to achieve a majority Progressive City Council for 2020.
So, please take a moment now and …
