2026 General Election Endorsements
Our ability to strengthen our public health infrastructure, our social safety net, and take action to support frontline workers depends on electing candidates who support nurses, healthcare professionals, and our communities.
We are proud to announce our first round of endorsements for the 2026 November General Election. These candidates share our values of community and compassion and will fight for us, our patients, and working people everywhere.
