The Cuyahoga County Progressive is proud to announce its endorsements for 2019 local elections in Cuyahoga County.
CCPC is a bottom-up grassroots organization. All of CCPC’s endorsements are determined by a vote of our membership in the communities of candidates seeking our endorsement. The CCPC membership who vote on each endorsement have full access to each candidates application and questionnaire to help make their decision before casting their vote.
The CCPC endorsement process is quite different from the top down approach that the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party and other organizations use, where management and/or a committee partially or fully selected by management make the endorsement at the exclusion of rank and file input.
