Past Endorsements
NOTE: CURRENT ENDORSEMENTS ARE POSTED HERE.
How do we decide who to support? All candidates must complete a 15-page written questionnaire and participate in a Zoom interview; after which our Elections Team and Board of Directors evaluates and votes. Click on each candidate’s name to read their responses. Please remember that while the questionnaires are very important, they are just one of the factors that we use when considering an endorsement for a candidate. Interviews give us an opportunity to go more in depth with our candidates and to confirm their positions on record.
