Endorsement Process and Criteria

National Endorsements

PACE endorses and contributes to candidates from any party who meet the endorsement criteria . The national PACE Board of Trustees endorses and contributes to federal candidates running for U.S. House and Senate seats. PACE also contributes financially to the two major political parties through "donor councils" run by each party.  In addition, NASW government relations staff attend fundraisers for Republican, Democratic, and Independent members of Congress, and tickets to those events are considered contributions. If there are candidates you would like to suggest for endorsement, please e-mail PACE@naswdc.org .  See current endorsements by state on the PACE Endorsement List .
