MY PERSONAL CHOICES · 2026 MIDTERMS

Endorsement doesn’t mean
agreement on everything.

I’m supporting these nine candidates across party lines. My endorsement does not imply that they endorse me or share every position I hold.

Representing everyone is the job.

The challenge isn’t that cross-party endorsements cannot happen. It’s that supporting someone on the other side is often treated as unorthodox. I believe the winner’s oath of office carries a responsibility to represent all people fairly—not only the party or voters who put them in office.

These are priorities from the candidates’ campaign materials that overlap with my beliefs. They do not imply agreement on every policy.
