Endorsements & Ratings
Endorse – best pro-life candidate in the race (our endorsement is a recommendation that our members vote for that person).
A – rating where there is more than one pro-life endorsable candidate in the race, and the candidates have returned a 100% pro-life questionnaire.
In the case of A ratings, we submit that a vote for any candidate with an A rating is a vote for a pro-life candidate.
*Endorsements and ratings for the General Election in November will be published following the primary elections.
