2022 California Democratic Party Convention Pre-Endorsing Conference Results
A candidate must receive 70% of the vote to be placed on the Consent Calendar. If a candidate receives more than 50% and less than 70%, then the race will be considered at an Endorsing Caucus on March 5th, at the 2022 Convention. If no candidate received over 50%, then the California Democratic Party will take the position of No Consensus. If no candidate filed, the party will take the position of No Endorsement.
