Primary Election Info:

Does the Party choose candidates for the Primary ballot? 

No, any Democrat in good standing can run in the Primary Election for any office they are eligible for. Candidates run their own campaigns. 

The Primary is for Dem voters to select their candidates for the fall election. 

The Grant County Democratic Party does not choose or endorse Primary candidates.
