SF Endorsements

We collected a list of voter guides and election endorsements for the November 2026 San Francisco local, state, and national elections in one place for every political affiliation

SF Endorsements is an independent, non-partisan source that lists SF voter guides and San Francisco election endorsements from many organizations for the November 2026 local, state, and federal elections and ballot propositions. Results are roughly ranked by their rankings when I did a Google search for "SF endorsements". We're not affiliated with any of the organizations or sources listed.

SF Endorsements is maintained by Peter Xu (co-founder of Wanderlog, a tool to plan vacation travel and OpenGreenCard, a free tool to prepare marriage-based green card applications and I-751 removal of status forms). Get in touch at peter@wanderlog.com if you have any suggestions or if you find any inaccuracies!

(Past endorsements: June 2026; November 2024; March 2024; November 2022; June 2022; February 2022; November 2020; March 2020; November 2019)


Note: we're still missing endorsements for a few organizations (Tech Workers Voter Guide) who had endorsed in the past. If they've released endorsements, email Peter and we'll add them!
Organizations whose websites explain the reasoning behind their endorsements are highlighted in gray with an info icon.
