FINAL ENDORSEMENTS for ELECTION 2020 in NEW YORK

Vaccine Rights Voter Guide for the New York State Senate, Assembly and US House of Representatives Elections 2020

     Get out and vote!  If 10,000 votes in 2018 in a state of 19,000,000 people had been different we would have had enough votes in the State Senate to stop the religious exemption and our kids would still have a right to an education. Your vote matters!

     These are our endorsements for candidates running in 2020 New York elections for the New York State Senate and Assembly, and Representatives for the US House of Representatives.

     We selected these candidates based on previous votes on important bills, and expressions of support for parental rights and medical freedom.

    We only considered candidates who have either the Democratic or Republican line on the ballot, , with one exception which is Elizabeth Glass who is running as a write-in candiate in the 27th Senate District in Manhattan against incumbent Brad Hoylman. In many districts one of the main parties did not put forward a candidate.

***

These are what the terms below mean:

District: This is the district number for a particular race.

No endorsement: We do not endorse a candidate for this race.

(i): Incumbent
