Over the weekend, the state Democratic Party endorsed Matt Dababneh, district director to Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Sherman Oaks. But earlier, the Democratic Party of the San Fernando Valley decided to endorse Damian Carroll, who worked for three years as district director for Councilman Paul Krekorian.
