The National Women's Political Caucus endorses candidates who have proven that they support women's issues and will work to strengthen women's rights.

It is also important to remember that the leaked majority opinion was able to happen because anti-choice, far right conservative candidates were able to pipeline through to the highest levels of elective office. National Women's Political Caucus is proud to be the only organization that supports pro-choice self identifying womxn regardless of party preference. Check out the endorsements we have made so far in the region below. You can also download our slate guide. Each candidate endorsed has reflected their pro-choice, progressive values in their questionnaires and work in elective office. They are 100% pro-choice, not pro-choice with an asterisk. We hope you will join us in supporting these women for elective office with your time and dollars.
Due to the nature of the process at the State and Federal level, some races may not be considered in time for the June Primary.
However, we encourage you to check out Planned Parenthood Mar Monte's (our local) Voter Guide to review each elected official and candidate's grade on pro-choice, bottom line issues.
