Centrist Independent Voter has endorsed Senator Jack Reed in Rhode Island’s September 9 Democratic primary for the United States Senate.
Reed combines deep national-security experience with strong support for Ukraine, opposition to economically damaging tariffs and a record of practical bipartisan legislation. His judgment and institutional experience make him the strongest choice in the Democratic primary.
Centrist Independent Voter has endorsed Senator Chris Coons in Delaware’s September 15 Democratic primary for the United States Senate.
Coons has built the kind of record we would like to see more often in Congress: serious about American leadership abroad, willing to work across party lines and prepared to confront difficult fiscal and institutional questions rather than simply repeat his party’s preferred talking points.
He has been a strong supporter of Ukraine and America’s alliances, while supporting Israel’s security without treating support for Israel as an endorsement of every decision made by its government. He has also joined bipartisan efforts to address Social Security’s long-term finances and has opposed tariffs that raise costs for American consumers and businesses.
On immigration, Coons combines support for secure borders and enforcement with comprehensive reform and due-process protections. That approach is much closer to Centrist Independent Voter’s view than treating enforcement and humane immigration policy as opposing choices.
Coons faces three Democratic challengers, but none has made a persuasive case for replacing an experienced senator with his record of bipartisan and institutionally serious governing.
Centrist Independent Voter has made its first endorsement of the 2026 general election, endorsing Senator Jon Ossoff for reelection to the United States Senate from Georgia.
This endorsement goes beyond ordinary disagreements over taxes, spending and social policy. During President Trump’s second term, Congress has repeatedly failed to defend its own constitutional responsibilities—from presidential appointments and war powers to tariffs and oversight of the executive branch.
Ossoff has demonstrated a willingness to resist those abuses. He opposed a series of deeply problematic Trump nominees, supported congressional limits on unilateral tariffs and unauthorized war, and has consistently supported Ukraine and America’s alliances.
Just as importantly, his independence is not entirely partisan. Ossoff has broken with Democrats on immigration enforcement and rejected several proposals associated with the party’s left wing, including Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, defunding the police and expansion of the Supreme Court.
Republican nominee Mike Collins has bipartisan legislative accomplishments that deserve recognition. But his votes on Ukraine, war powers and tariffs—and his own description of his role as helping Congress “have President Trump’s back”—raise serious doubts about the institutional independence required of a United States senator.
