The SDNYC 2025 Endorsement Process

For over 35 years, Stonewall Democratic Club of NYC has played an important part in municipal, state, and federal elections to ensure that candidates for public office are responsive to LGBTQ+ issues and aligned with the values and priorities of our community. As we approach the June 2025 primary, SDNYC will again:

  • Invite candidates to fill out questionnaires on issues important to the LGBTQ+ community

  • Invite candidates to appear before our membership for endorsement votes

  • Support our endorsed candidates in the primary election

Our endorsement process timeline:

  • Monday, March 10th - Questionnaires published

  • Friday, April 4th - Questionnaires due

  • Wednesday, April 9th - Questionnaire responses posted online and sent to SDNYC members

  • In Person Endorsement Meetings - Candidates are invited to speak to our members, followed by a vote

    • Wednesday April 16th - City Council Candidates

    • Wednesday April 23rd - Borough President, District Attorney, Comptroller, Public Advocate, and Mayoral Candidates
