Elections
Endorsements
Each election cycle, EVA determines which candidates to endorse in the primary and general elections, and whether to contribute funds through Equality Virginia PAC (EV PAC). EV PAC assesses candidates based on:
- A 100% score on the EV PAC candidate questionnaire OR 100% score on Equality Virginia’s Legislative Scorecard
- Additional factors such as campaign viability and interviews.
The PAC makes endorsement recommendations to the Equality Virginia Advocates Board of Directors, which votes on final endorsements.
EV PAC considers all candidates for endorsement—both openly LGBTQ+ candidates and pro-equality allies—who meet our screening and endorsement criteria.
