Election Day is less than a week away! And we at People For the American Way are very proud to have endorsed an impressive slate of candidates that has us feeling upbeat and excited. Our endorsees represent the progressive leadership we need in federal, state, and local governments. They’re driven and eager, and we know they’ll make outstanding public servants.
These endorsements come at a time when opposing MAGA extremists and ensuring progressive values at every level of government could not be more critical. It’s up to all of us, elected officials and activists alike, to push back against the tide of authoritarianism that threatens to undermine our elections and seize control of our nation.
Of course our top endorsements go to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for President and Vice President, but we’ve got many additional endorsees we’re proud to support. Take a look at the list below, and be sure to visit peoplefor.org/elections-endorsements to learn more about the candidates.
