2016 is of course a BIG election year with a Presidential election happening in November.
For the primary election in May, we have made limited endorsements, mostly in open seats or contested primaries. We chose to weigh in where we think there is a clear choice for voters who share our values and policy priorities. This summer we will move forward with our full endorsement process for general election candidates. So check back before you vote in November!
