The Broward Young Democrats may endorse candidates in various elections within Broward County boundaries such as municipal, county, and state races.
In some cases, BYD may award "Candidate Distinctions" to one or multiple candidates in the same race, giving recommendation of the candidate for their positive attributes and history supporting young democrats without explicitly endorsing them.
