Apply For Our School Board Endorsement!
Applications for STL Young Dems’ Candidates Endorsement for St. Louis School Board are NOW OPEN. The organization will endorse three candidates before the April 6 election.
To apply, candidates must submit a questionnaire and a high-res headshot to stlyoungdems@gmail.com by Sunday, March 14 at 5 p.m.
In 2020, STL Young Dems developed the organization’s mission statement, which was crafted at our open policy committee meeting and approved via vote by members. To seek our organization’s endorsement, we ask that all candidates uphold our mission statement in their past, current, and future actions. If you do not meet the criteria below, you are not eligible to apply for our endorsement and therefore should not fill out the questionnaire. Your application will be rejected.
STL Young Dems fully expects candidates to uphold the organization’s mission statement in their deeds and actions. We will not accept endorsement applications from any candidate who has been accused of sexual assault, abuse, or harassment. Again, should you submit an application, it will be rejected.
Candidates must sign the Solidarity with SLPS pledge, which can be found here.
Should you answer YES to the question listed above, please send the completed questionnaire and a high-res headshot to stlyoungdems@gmail.com by Sunday, March 14 at 5 p.m. CST. You are also invited to speak at our virtual candidate endorsement meeting on Tuesday, March 16 at 7 p.m. More information about the meeting will be released in the upcoming days.
Your questionnaire will be made available to members and the general public. We look forward to receiving your application.
