Our 2026 Endorsements

Since May 2026, the VPIRG Votes Advisory Board and staff have solicited and reviewed countless applications for support, interviewed dozens of candidates, and deliberated for hours. Based on that research, we are pleased to share the following recommendations for the 2026 Election.

NOTE: These are the current endorsements that the VPIRG Votes Advisory Board has made thus far. The Board will continue to consider and make endorsements before the general election in November.
