Get to know your ADEM candidates

A group of 14 delegates will be elected to represent their California Assembly District.  If you don’t know your district,  find your district here!

Often candidates will organize into slates to campaign together and encourage voters to elect the entire group.  You are not required to vote for everyone on the entire slate, vote for all 14 candidates,  or you can vote for a variety of candidates from different slates.  Not all candidates decide to run on a slate.  

Since there are so many candidates to choose from,  we gathered as much information as possible for you.  Take a look at the candidates and slates running in your district.
