Our Timeline & Approach
How Candidates Become Considered for Endorsements
CUFFH Action endorsement committee includes CUFFH Action members, Board members, staff, & clergy (non-voting). All candidates have to be approved by the full Board.
CUFFH Action will review all applications and determine who to progress to the next stage of our endorsement process.
CUFFH Action will send questionnaires to candidates in races important to CUFFH and CUFFH’s members and will also send them to any candidates who request a CUFFH Action questionnaire.
For new endorsements, we like to schedule a brief endorsement meeting with our endorsement committee/or our members will attend Working Families Party (WFP) meetings.
CUFFH Action will not consider candidates:
Accepting corporate PAC money, real estate money, or police money; money from senior executives in the oil and gas industry
Are not aligned with our values as defined within our questionnaire & values statement page.
During screenings, CUFFH Action will share expectations for endorsed candidates + CUFFH’s realistic capacity within their race.
Timeline
Our questionnaire will be open until the end of March.
We will announce our endorsements on a rolling basis.
