The Santa Monica Democratic Club on Wednesday made endorsements in the race for four seats on the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District’s Board of Education. The club endorsed incumbents Oscar de la Torre, Ralph Mechur and Barry Snell and challenger Laurie Lieberman.
Prior to the meeting, the club’s executive committee had recommended endorsements for de la Torre, Mechur, Snell and Malibu resident Patrick Cady.
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles County Democratic Party endorsed de la Torre, Snell, Lieberman and Nimish Patel.
The other candidates running in the race are Chris Bley and Jake Wachtel.
