General Election Endorsement Considerations
Our primary election endorsements will carry through to the general election unless an endorsed candidate did not advance, or if a given office did not receive an endorsement before the primary. The three offices below are being reconsidered under those circumstances. 2026 statewide primary election results may be found here.

Anyone who was a member or PCO as of Friday, August 21 (25 days before the meeting) is eligible to vote on endorsements. If you have questions about the status of your paid membership please contact Ingrid Clair at treasurer37th@gmail.com or Casey Smith at caseydoesnumbers@gmail.com.
