What it takes to earn a Reconstruction PAC endorsement.
Demonstrated Record
We review voting records, past positions, and community relationships. Endorsements are based on what candidates have done, not just what they say they will do.
Electoral Viability
We do not endorse for inspiration. Candidates must demonstrate a credible path to victory — district demographics, organizational infrastructure, and fundraising capacity are all assessed.
Ongoing Accountability
Elected officials we back are tracked on a legislative scorecard. Failure to advance our priorities has electoral consequences. The endorsement is not unconditional — it is a strategic partnership.
