CIVPAC is reviewing candidates in selected 2026 primary and general-election races. This is a working list intended to make our endorsement process visible and to invite informed comments from voters who know these candidates and communities.
Status Key
- Published endorsement — CIVPAC has formally endorsed the candidate and published the endorsement.
- Under review — CIVPAC has discussed the race or candidate, but no endorsement has been published. This category may include candidates for whom a draft endorsement exists.
- Endorsement likely—primary over — CIVPAC reached a favorable preliminary judgment, but the primary ended before an endorsement was published. The candidate may now be considered for the general election.
- Under review for the General Election — The candidate has advanced from the primary, and CIVPAC is considering whether to endorse the candidate in November.
A primary endorsement does not automatically become a general-election endorsement. CIVPAC evaluates the November choice separately.
