NOTE TO CANDIDATES SEEKING C-FAIR ENDORSEMENT:
The C-FAIR Endorsement process will begin automatically for candidates in races C-FAIR has selected for consideration. After the candidate filing deadline, all candidates in those races will receive an email with instructions to participate in the C-FAIR Endorsement process. If a candidate does not have a Primary Election opponent, they will not receive an email until after the General Election filing deadline.
To be considered for endorsement, candidates in selected races complete a C-FAIR questionnaire and may be asked to participate in an interview with a team of C-FAIR leaders and volunteers. The interview team meets with each candidate seeking endorsement in a particular race and makes endorsement recommendations. The C-FAIR Board of Directors makes final endorsement decisions.
For more information, you may contact C-FAIR Chair Casey Kimball-Pham at Casey@Fairness.org and Fairness Campaign Executive Director Chris Hartman at Chris@Fairness.org.
