ENDORSEMENT FAQ:
When was the 46th's Primary Election Endorsement meeting?
It was held Monday, May 18, 2026. See the list of endorsed candidates here.
We expect to hold additional endorsement meetings as candidate become eligible, and for the General Election.
Do candidates have to sit for an endorsements committee interview?
No. We are a membership-led organization and do not have an Endorsement Committee. For the 2026 election cycle, you will simply need to submit your questionnaire at the link above and attend our endorsement meeting (or send a surrogate). Our membership reads your questionnaire, does their own research on you, and we make our endorsement choices as a body.
Who do I email if I have more questions?
Please reach out to our Elections Chairs, Kody Zalewski, at Elections[at]46dems.org and they'll be happy to help you!
Thank you for seeking an endorsement from the 46th District Democrats!
