The Santa Clara County Democratic Party has decided to maintain dual endorsements for both Gabby Chavez-Lopez and Anthony Tordillos in the June 24 runoff election, despite both candidates vying for the same seat. Bill James, the party chair, explained that such endorsements arise when there's insufficient consensus for a single candidate. The context of the dual endorsement is highlighted by the resignation of former Councilmember Omar Torres under controversial circumstances, prompting this unique scenario for the party's endorsement process.
"The Democratic Party can make a dual endorsement if the Central Committee doesn't have a sufficiently high consensus for a sole endorsement," Bill James, chair of the Santa Clara County Democratic Party, told San José Spotlight.
"I'm proud to have the Democratic Party supporting me in my campaign. Obviously I share a lot of values the party has, and have a proven track record of doing so," Chavez-Lopez told San José Spotlight.
