The Fresno County Democratic Party announced its endorsements for local races, but chose not to endorse in some contests. For Fresno City Council, the Democrats made picks in three of the four races: Rob Fuentes, Danielle Parra, and Nav Gurm. However, they did not endorse for District 3, featuring prominent Democrats Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula and Fresno Unified Trustee Keshia Thomas. The decision leaves one candidate, Eric Payne, the only African American and API candidate in the race. The local Democrats also did not make an endorsement for Fresno County Supervisor District District 1. The threshold for receiving an endorsement from the party is 60% of central committee members.
