2026 Elections Endorsements

Endorsements GOTV

The membership of the 36th LD Democrats met on May 13, 2026 to vote on endorsements for candidates filing in 2026 according to our endorsement process. Some candidates will be on the primary ballot and some will advance to the general election. We will update our endorsements after the primary and to add any additional endorsements such as ballot measures or initiative campaigns.

Please consider visiting the websites of any of these candidates to support them directly or make a donation to the 36th LD Democrats to help us in our GOTV (get out the vote) efforts for the Primary & General in 2026!
