32nd Endorsement Policy and Procedures – for complete rules, see our website or click here
*Each Race
- Candidates – 2min into
- Q&A – 3min times the number of candidates (15 SEC Q / 30 SEC A)
- PRO-CON – (2EA MAX 30 SEC)
- Vote
Section 8. All motions to endorse shall require a second except motions from the Executive Board.
A. After all motions to endorse individuals for a given race have been made; the candidate (or substitute spokesperson authorized in writing) will be given two (2) minutes to present reasons for endorsement; then there will be a question-and-answer (Q&A) period for a panel composed of all potential endorsees in the race, (including substitute spokespeople authorized as such in writing), each of whom will have an opportunity to respond to each question. The maximum Q&A time will be three (3) minutes times the number of potential endorsees for that race. Each question may last up to fifteen (15) seconds, and each answer may last up to thirty (30) seconds.
B. The motions will then be debated and voted upon in the order in which they were made, starting with the Executive Board motion(s)
C. Up to four speakers, alternating pro (two) and con (two), will be allowed. Each speaker may take up to thirty (30) seconds. If no one requests recognition to speak against the motion after the first pro speaker has spoken, then debate will be closed, and the vote taken. This sequence of “debate and vote” will be followed for each of the motions, in turn.
D. If more than one individual receives a three-fifths (3/5) or 60% vote, the result is a multiple endorsement. If only one individual is endorsed, it is a sole endorsement. If no individual is endorsed, motions for multiple endorsements will then be in order, and the same procedures for “debate and vote” (Sec. 6B above) will be followed.

SNOHOMISH COUNTY CALENDAR
April 10 is Dolores Huerta Day. Dolores Huerta is a civil rights, workers, and women’s advocate. She co-founded the National Farmworkers Association in 1962, which later became the United Farm Workers of America, a workers union that successfully promoted the rights of farm workers in California and across the country. While Dolores is most well known for her work on labor and civil rights, she has also done important work to protect women from violence. For Dolores, issues of abuse, sexual assault, and labor rights have long been interconnected, as she has heard from many women, especially immigrants, who have been mistreated while working on farms or in other low wage jobs.
History
Born on April 10, 1930 in Dawson, New Mexico, Huerta was the second of three children of Alicia and Juan Fernandez, a farm worker and miner who became a state legislator in 1938. Her parents divorced when Huerta was three years old, and her mother moved to Stockton, California with her children. Huerta’s grandfather helped raise Huerta and her two brothers while her mother juggled jobs as a waitress and cannery worker until she could buy a small hotel and restaurant. Alicia’s community activism and compassionate treatment of workers greatly influenced her daughter.
At the age of 58, Dolores herself was the victim of a life-threatening assault by police while nonviolently protesting in California. Many years later in 2012, she was a strong voice encouraging Congress to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. For Dolores, “every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.” Whether working for the rights of farm workers, immigrants, or women, Dolores has inspired countless people, including members of the Obama Administration, to make the world a more just place.
Huerta has received numerous awards for her community service and advocacy for workers’, immigrants’, and women’s rights, including the Eugene V. Debs Foundation Outstanding American Award, the United States Presidential Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She was the first Latina inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, in 1993.
