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 a candidate in the general election and published the endorsement.
Under review — CIVPAC is examining the race or one or more candidates, but no general-election endorsement has been published.
Endorsement likely — CIVPAC has reached a favorable preliminary judgment about a candidate, but no general-election endorsement has yet been published.
Where CIVPAC is not yet reviewing a particular candidate for the general election, the race is listed simply as Democratic nominee and Republican nominee. California and Washington races are listed as general-election finalists because those states do not use conventional party primaries.
When a named candidate’s primary has not yet concluded, pending primary outcome means only that CIVPAC has discussed or endorsed that candidate during the primary. It does not imply that the candidate has won the nomination or received a general-election endorsement.
A primary endorsement does not automatically become a general-election endorsement. CIVPAC evaluates the November choice separately.
