SF Endorsements

Endorsements for the November, 2022 election

Note: we're still missing endorsements for a few organizations (SF Housing Action Coalition, United Educators of San Francisco, Tech Workers Voter Guide, San Francisco Parent Action, and San Francisco Rising Action) 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.
