2025 ADEM Endorsement Slate

This year, we have an incredible opportunity to advocate for more housing in California by voting in a critical (but often low-turnout) upcoming election called ADEM (Assembly District Election Meetings).

These elections determine the delegates who will shape the Democratic Party’s platform, endorse candidates, and decide which ballot measures to support. This means they’ll be influencing the future of housing policy in CA. How to vote instructions are found under the endorsement slate.
