YDCC Endorsements Press Release

Vancouver, WA - On July 21, 2026 the Young Democrats of Clark County (YDCC) held an endorsement meeting. After requesting questionnaires from candidates in our priority races, the endorsements committee presented an endorsement slate to the body for a vote. Each candidate was chosen based on their platform, vision for the future, experience, and investment in the young people of Clark County.
