ECDC Endorsement, Next Forums
Updated: Sep 15
The El Cerrito Democratic Club (ECDC) endorsed incumbent Carolyn Wysinger for City Council, ECDC President Neil Tsutsui announced in an email to members.
The club did not endorse Mayor Gabe Quinto, the other incumbent who is up for re-election on Nov. 3.
To win endorsement, a candidate must receive 60% of votes cast.
Meanwhile, council member William Ktsanes announced that an in-person candidate forum for all six City Council candidates is planned for 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at the Veterans Memorial Building, 6540 Stockton Ave. The event is being sponsored by the League of Women Voters, West Contra Costa Adult Education (WCCAE) and the El Cerrito Senior Action Committee.
A candidate meet-and-greet has been scheduled for 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 12, at Christ Lutheran Church, 780 Ashbury Ave. Ktsanes said it is aimed primarily at residents who participate in senior programs at Christ Lutheran, St. John's, and the El Cerrito Community Center -- but everyone is welcome.
