There will be a lot of shopping for endorsements Friday at the Moscone Center in San Francisco as it hosts the California Democratic Convention.
California’s Democrats officially will be welcomed to the convention at 11 a.m. Friday.
That kicks off a day of committee and caucus meetings and a welcome reception later in the evening.
A big highlight will be the dinner honoring former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which is taking place Saturday night at the Marriott Marquis.
It’s a moment for Democrats in California to get together, strategize and plan for the months ahead.
It’s also significant for candidates’ endorsements.
There are some big political races this year, including Pelosi’s congressional seat and California’s gubernatorial race.
For Democrats, this year’s theme is “Together We Win,” and after the passage of Prop. 50, they will be looking to endorse statewide candidates to win newly contested seats.
