													HOW WE 
													ENDORSE: Stonewall 
													Democrats of Arizona has a 
													twelve person Endorsement 
													Committee. Candidates do not 
													file applications nor must 
													those endorsed have to be 
													members of the LGBTQ 
													community. Being a member of 
													the LGBTQ community is 
													obviously a plus towards 
													endorsement however, we have 
													found that being such does 
													not always indicate that a 
													candidate would necessarily 
													be an advantage to our 
													community were they to hold 
													office. Many factors are 
													considered. Committee 
													members research candidates 
													through their social media 
													accounts, their websites, 
													voting records, YouTube 
													videos, statements, position 
													papers and more before 
													bringing their information 
													before the Committee in 
													whole for a vote. |
