2026 Guilford for All Endorsements

2026 North Carolina General Election
Early Voting: October 15-31
Election Day: Tuesday, November 3

Guilford for All and Carolina Federation chapter members came together at the culmination of a rigorous endorsement process to vote on the candidates we will support this fall.

Defensive Endorsements are the BLOCK. We make defensive endorsements to ensure that the most dangerous forces on the authoritarian right do not win. This sometimes means endorsing candidates who do not align with everything we stand for but who represent the necessary protective perimeter between our communities and those who would do us real, immediate harm.

Offensive Endorsements are the BUILD. We also call these candidates our “Champions.” These are the candidates who deeply align with our DNA and our platform, leaders rooted in the multiracial working class, who will not just vote the right way but who will govern in true strategic alliance with our organizations. Champions are the ones we pour our full organizing power behind.

We are excited to announce our endorsements for the 2026 General Election!
