SF Endorsements
We collected all the endorsements and voter guides for the June, 2026 San Francisco local, state, and national elections in one place for every political affiliation
SF Endorsements is an independent, non-partisan source that shows endorsements from many organizations for the June, 2026 San Francisco municipal elections and ballot propositions. Endorsements 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). Get in touch at peter@wanderlog.com if you have any suggestions or if you find any inaccuracies!
(Past endorsements: 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 (San Francisco Examiner, 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.
