Michael Bloomberg wins Presidential Preference straw poll at Dolphin Dems Meeting

February 14, 2020 by Dolphin Democrats

Wilton Manors, FL – Members of the Dolphin Democrats conducted a Presidential Preference Primary Straw Poll at their Feb. 12 monthly meeting. Michael R. Bloomberg won the straw poll garnering 32 percent of the votes. Coming in second was Pete Buttigieg at 25 percent, and third was Elizabeth Warren at 23 percent. Amy Klobuchar received 8.51 percent of the vote; Joe Biden received 6.38 percent; Bernie Sanders received 4.36 percent; and Tom Steyer received 0 percent.

 “We’re always looking for ways to excite LGBTQ+ Democrats in Broward County,” said Alfredo Olvera, President of the Dolphin Democrats. “The straw poll is a fun and exciting way to energize Democrats and find out the pulse of our caucus, but I want to stress it is not an official endorsement of the organization.

“I encourage all LGBTQ+ Broward Democrats to fight for their respective candidates with all their heart and passion, but in the end, we must come together to defeat President Trump.”

The Dolphin Democrats’ mission this election year is to Unite, Ignite, and Win.

The Dolphin Democrats will conduct a second and final straw poll at their Wednesday, March 11 membership meeting.

December 27, 2019 by Alfredo Olvera

Official Notice: January Membership Meeting Bylaws Amendments

At our Wednesday, January 8, 2020 Membership meeting, the Bylaws Committee will be be presenting for membership vote the following proposed amendments to sections of the Bylaws:

1.Changed LGBTA to LGBTQ+ throughout the entire document. This is consistent with the state caucus.

2. Article VI, Sec. 5(c)(iii) – Reduced voting eligibility for officer and director elections from 45 to 40 days. This aligns the eligibility deadline better with the meeting schedule to increase eligible voters for the elections.

3. Article VIII, Sec. 2 – Added a requirement that all board of directors must receive Voter Registration Training within 6 months of assuming or being appointed to their position.

4. Article VIII, Sec. 6 Removed the word “board” from board member attendance at meetings and clarified that board members may only miss 4 meetings either board or general membership.

We encourage all of our members to review the updates before the meeting.  According to our current Bylaws, all amendments can only be approved by 2/3 of the members in attendance at the membership meetings, while meeting quorum.

For questions or concerns, please email Alfredo Olvera at [email protected]
