2026 Endorsements

Down Home Candidate Academy graduates of many races, ages, and genders join hands to celebrate.
From our small towns and rural places, working-class people are driving North Carolina politics.
Down Home NC members put in the work to develop, finalize, and vote on endorsements long before elections begin. We have built our platform — North Carolina for All — and are using it to back up the research, candidate interviews, and debating in order to identify which candidates — if any — deserve the privilege of our support, our trust, and our word.
Once endorsements are done, our members knock doors, phone bank, and canvass to make sure that we back the candidates who will stand up for our families and communities.
